Brake bleeder valves
Can anyone recommend a good Bleeder Valve for the C6 Brake Calipers. There are several on line for sale, but one that makes bleeding brakes extremely easy is what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Earl's solo bleeders are the way to go. I have them on all four corners if my C6 Z51. This is the third car I've installed them on for quick single person bleeding at track events. LG Motorsports sells them.

FWIW...most road racers I know won't use the installed solo bleeder valves believing they're unnecessary and increase the potential for leaking. Most prefer bleeding brakes the 'old-fashioned' way and many (including myself) use the Motive Power Bleeder which makes the job easy to do if you don't have a helper handy. I'm not knocking the solo valves as they obviously work fine for many people. I'm just mentioning the consensus opinion from racers I know.

i dont want to step on any toes here BUT the easiest, safest (with ten million ABS systems out there) is a one man event. Pump up the brakes by yourself and then go to the caliper and open the bleeder till you see no more bubbles, repeat. I have never been a big fan of the "Pump itup already" 2 man circle jerk because in my world the guy will pump when i say hold and hold when i say pump.
Ive done probably a thousand brake jobs over the years with no issues. I have tried power bleeders & vacuum bleeders but as fast as you can set the stuff up I'm already done and donw have to worry about any aBS issues like accumulators and proportioning valves.
