Speed Bleeders

speed bleeders

Do these things work? or is there some catch I am missing here? I am about to over haul my entire brake system and am considering installing them.

I've used them. On one truck, it's prolly cost-effective. Note that other folks make them; Motormite / Dorman sells them in the "Help!" stuff @ i.e. Kragen, PepBoys, etc.

If you have multiple trucks, I'd build a pressure bleeder with a garden sprayer. I've gone that route ... messier, p'raps, but then bleeding just sucks no matter what.

I've got them on my truck. Like dremu said, you can get them under the Help! brand.
They work pretty good so far. I've only bled the system once, that was when I installed them.

i bought the russell brand ones for my 68 camaro and couldn't get them to work correctly, but i have been known to be retarded sometimes

I have them on my truck, and highly recommend them. No problems.

i have used them in the past with good results too

The small ones like for the drums (10b) are too fragile, ended up tossing them. I got that little, cheap plastic bottle & hose bleeder ($8?) thing works great. Seems to me it works well because it uses a pointed nipple to insert into the brake nipple.
