Hi Everyone
Looking for recommendations on brake bleeders / power bleeders. What have you got, where did you get it, and do you like it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

I was just having a discussion a few days ago at our local "annual family PCA get together". One dude swears by both pressure(max 10 psi at the fluid reservoir) and vacuum at the bleeders. I have tried the vacuum with little success and the pressure with little success. Next time I will try both.

I tried speed bleeders once and had a bad experience with them. They seemed to suck air past the threads into the caliper as I pumped the brakes, instead of pulling fluid from the reservoir. Obviously this made it impossible to bleed the system. I lost a day at the track sorting that out. Luckily I'd brought the stock ones with me. Put them back, and voila all good again. I won't use them again.
