I have done some research on pressure bleeder and speed bleeder. Now, my decision is leaning more toward the speed bleeder because of it seems easier to deal with. On Greg’s website, it seems simple enough. Now I’m concern if the speed bleeder does what it says. I don’t mind a little oil fluid goes back into the system but I do mind about air bubbles. What do you folks think?

 

I have the speed bleeders and have bled the brakes 4 times by myself. I personally think they're great and they do what they are intended to do! I'd recommend them!

 

can sombody tell me wut speed bleeders are

 

One Person System Takes The Work Out Of Brake Bleeding
Bleeding your brake or clutch line has never been easier or simpler! Revolutionary double-patented Speed Bleeder replaces the original bleeder valve in your caliper/wheel cylinder with a spring-loaded one-way ball and check valve design. This unique design opens to allow the old fluid and air out, then closes automatically between pumps to prevent the old fluid and air from re-entering the line. It's a real time saver!

 

The patented Speed Bleeder is a one-person brake bleeder screw that speeds up the job of purging old fluid and air from your newly replaced brake line. The Speed Bleeder has a unique check ball design which allows old fluid and air to be pushed out but closes between pumps, preventing the old fluid and air from re-entering the system.
Here's how it works: Replace the original bleeder valve with the Speed Bleeder. Attach a drain hose to the Speed Bleeder to catch the fluid to be purged. Prime the new brake line with Russell's D.O.T. 5 Silicone Brake Fluid prior to installation using an eye dropper or small syringe. Install the line. Bleed the system by turning the Speed Bleeder 1/4 to 1/2 turn, pumping the brake lever continuously. Once solid fluid begins to flow from the screw, tighten the Speed Bleeder and the job is done. Simple. Easy. A real time saver

 

how did you bleed the rear by yoruself? did you just put the tube in the containter and pumped and kept checking the resovoir and container to see the new fluid in there?

 

that's it.

 

DOT5 is new. is our 4th gen using this?

 

rinse lather repeat

 

i could be wrong but i dont think we use dot 5 as it is silicone and i dont think can work with ABS pretty sure im right but look to be sure

 

also now i know wat a speed bleeder is whats a pressure bleeder??
