Re: Speed Bleeders Rock (Lone Ranger)
You all are getting me motivated to install the speed bleeders I have on the shelf. Here is how I think the bleeding procedure would go, *please* correct me if a step is not right:
1. loosen speed beeder
2. remove brake fluid reservior lid
3. put a clear plastic tube onto speed bleeder and run to a bucket or jar
4. pump brake until reservior level drops
5. pour new fluid into reservior, keep adding it while pumping brake until the new fluid begins to come out the end of the clear tubing into the bucket.
6. tighten speed bleeder, remove plastic tubing
repeat for each wheel, in proper sequence. Top off reservior after last wheel is bled/flushed and secure the lid back onto reservior. Done.

:thumbs: You got it! Just watch the reservoir level carefully. If the fluid level gets too low, you risk sucking air into the system and you start over .... which is a waste of brake fluid. I like to do two complete rounds when I'm flushing ... this may be overkill, but it satisfies me that I've purged the system really good. Probably can be done w/wheels on but so much easier with the wheels off .... everything is accessible and the job is really quick. Jacking the car up, taking wheels off, and then re-torqueing wheels back on is the longest part of the job.
