My brake pedal suddenly became squishy, so I figured I'll bleed out my 4 year old fluid for a change. But which single person operated speed bleeder do you recommend? Links would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

I have this one. Quality tool.

Anything cheaper? Like >$75 or something?

 

They cost $46.99. Get them here.

But I thought a pressure bleeder is better than a vacuum bleeder? And do you know if the above eBay auction unit has the correct fittings for our cars?

Edit: Which is better? the Mityvac 4000 unit or the 6820 unit? Does anyone know the difference?

 

How about $28 for

I have used the pressure and vaccuum bleeders. I think the pressure is better, but you have to be careful not to over pressurize it or you could blow the seal out on the MC.

Vaccuum is easy too, just have to pay more attention because its usually pretty hard to get the super tight seal necessary to "show" no bubbles.

When I redid the brakes on my 5th gen, I had all four calipers off. Had the whole system bled within 30 minutes.

 

just attached a piece of hose to the bleeder screw and stick the end in a bottle such that it is submerged in brake fluid (then when you release the brake pedal it will suck in fluid and not air). pump the brakes gently a dozen times or so (refilling the MC as needed) and close the bleeder screw. works every time. if you have a helper it's even better (you can have them keep the pedal depressed while you close the bleeder screw)
