Has anyone used the 'SPEED BLEEDERS' on their calipers?
The title pretty much sums up my question :). If you've used them, what was your opinion of them? Thanks!

They work sometimes
Mike,
I have them on my Contemporary with all Wilwood calipers. They work great and allow you to bleed the brakes by yourself just like the adds say. Last year after a weekend of some serious open track sessions I went to bleed the brakes and the speed bleeders in the rear calipers were frozen solid, when I went to loosen them the top half broke off and I had to remove the calipers from the car in order to use EZ outs to remove the inner part of the bleeder. The speed bleeders in the front calipers were fine and I still use them. The rear calipers are inboard mounted and a lot of heat build up probably caused the problem in the rear. The front calipers are cooled by air ducts. Simple answer to your question, they work. McCranky |
I installed a Speed Bleeder in the clutch slave cylinder in my car after I replaced my master cylinder. It worked fine once I got most of the air out of the system the old fashioned way. This is necessary because the bleeder opens based on pressure in the line. If there is too much air, you can't create enough pressure to open the bleeder.
