Default Bleeding Brakes

Don't know if this has been brought up before or reviewed, but looks like a great idea.

These have been around for several years. I believe they were pioneered by Russell Products (now a division of Edelbrock) but I'm not sure. I've got them on several cars, including the Vette. It makes brake bleeding an easy one-person operation. Just open the bleeder, climb in the driver's seat, and pump the pedal slowly several times. Don't forget to check the fluid level in the master cylinder every dozen or so pumps. It makes replacing the fluid every year or so almost a breeze. The hardest part is jacking up the car and removing the wheels. :cool:

I've got them on my 3000GT and love them. As soon as I take the time to figure out what size my '58 needs, I plan on switching over to SpeedBleeders there as well.
