Wow - quick brake job
Rear of my 95 needed new pads. Already had the pads and brake fluid. Went down to parts store and picked up some speed bleeders that I had heard about.
Wow - 2 hours and I was done. That also included going to the parts store, several coffee breaks, taking to the neighbor as to why I was home and then "bleeding the brakes".
For any of you that are about to change brake pads - get the speed bleeders available at most parts stores. Sure saves alot of time and you won't have to keep hollering down, up, down, up, down, up and listening to "are we done yet" from your significant other. Just keep an eye on the fluid in the reservoir.

I too remember those past threads....
Ah, memories!
Speedbleeders are awesome - the poor folk "one-man" version would be a surgical hose into a jar of brake fluid... but by the time you buy enough brake fluid to fill the jar, you've almost paid for the speed bleeders.
They rock.
