FINALLY got these brake bleeders installed this weekend.

(no I don't have any installed pics but they look like this one)



Thanks to KiKaA-sC in this thread pointing me to the proper part, I finally installed the Speed Bleeders that were sitting around my apartment.

Install was cake of course... did all four valves. Just needed an 8mm wrench (open ended would be best), removed the old one, screwed in the new one and tightened. Then one by one bled my lines again.

Of course, the beauty of these valves is that you really don't need a second person to pump the brake as you tighten the valve back up after all of the air out - but it is handy to have a second person available to watch the line to see if anymore air is coming out (my g/f handed this task just fine). Of course after going through all four wheels, I probably could have just pumped the pedal about 5 times for each valve and would have been fine.

Just make sure you check the fluid level as you move from wheel to wheel to be sure you have enough in the reservoir to bleed some out.

Oh... and turns out there was still a tiny bit of air in my lines after I installed the SS lines last year. So this was definitely beneficial and made the process quite a bit easier.

If anyone is interested, you can order them here (where I got mine, anyway). Just be sure to get all four:

Good to hear your happy with them. You'll definitely benefit from these, the speed bleeders will allow you to bleed that burnt brake fluid with ease after those hard days of auto-crossing.

btw, looking forward to seeing more videos on youtube with that fancy new camera you got along with the upgrades you've done to your car. :D

Thanks! And thanks for pointing them out. Definitely a nice investment so far.

Oh... and new videos should be coming within a week or so as our first event is this weekend!

i bought a set of these and am really looking forward to installing them and doing a complete brake flush. how does that coating on the threads hold up? hopefully well so there aren't any air leaks after multiple bleeding sessions over time.

No issues for me so far... but I've only bled once with these installed.
