I am considering getting a set of speedbleeders. I would like to get some feedback from any of you who have used these. Did anyone develop leaks or have trouble with them after long term use? Are they a good idea?
Thanks!

I posted this in general discussion as well, but this is probably a more appropriate place.

 

Ive been using them on different cars for over 5 years now. I won't do brakes anymore without them. Never had a problem with them, and they make bleeding brakes soooooo much easier. They are worth every penny and then some!

 

I love em on my max...so much easier and faster--without the need to bother someone to do it with you...

 

Bout 2 years and no problems here. Owner is very cool.

 

I have them on my AP brakes, no problems whatsoever. They sell a bake on sealant for the threads that work awesome also.

 

lots of positive feedback so far... that is great to hear!

 

More positive feedback from me. Have them, love them.

 

I had them on my previous max. One of them was messed up when I got it but I cannot remember if it either didn't open to bleed or didn't close to seal - I installed them like 4 years ago. So I just installed the 3 of them that worked and dealt with the other one. I probably could have contacted speedbleeders and gotten it replaced in a jif, but I didn't bother. Other than that they were great and a real life saver. I should have taken them out of the brake calipers when they carted my old max off to the junkyard.

 

have them on my fronts...love them

 

I have them all the way around. I couldnt imagine not having them now.

 

Just installed them recently. No leaks or problems so far and they make doing brakes soooo much easier.

 

I appreciate all of the responses. I just ordered last night... hopefully this will make replacing my caliper much less of a PITA.

 

Are they available for 2002 Max? I cannot find a part # anywhere?

 

is all the people here using this for racing/auto x purposes? or daily driving?

ideally i think you should just bleed brakes every 2 years or so. i have a vac hand pump that has been doing its job on a good amount of cars with no air leaks. but i see how it can cause leaks.
