I need to bleed the brakes on my car. I have used the old pump the brake system in the past. What new fangled equipment is out there and what works the best???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

putting on the speed bleeders is as easy as off/on. Hopefully, the bleeder nipples have been used a few times and aren't stuck closed. Just take 'em all the way off (one at a time), and replace with the speeders. Can't say how much air enters, but your gonna use 'em after you put 'em in anyway aren't you? After I installed mine, I flushed a liter of fluid thru the system. Man the old stuff looked horrible after it sat in a jar a couple of days. Layer of water on the top, sorta mixed layer, layer that actually looked like brake fluid, and then a layer of blackish nastyness. I was amazed the brakes had been working!
