For any who would like to know: Speed bleeders are AMAZING. Thanks Mikey!

Plus I'm running a 10' long clear, 1/4" vinyl hose back into the brake reservoir . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

how cool is this? Crack a bleeder, watch the bubbles go by, bubbles stop, tighten bleeder. Oh yes, the brake fluid goes right back where it came from.

Only do this with brand new fluid, folks. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Did you get your SS brake lines then? Or is this a test run of your new setup?

According to his web site you need:

Part #:639570 7mm x 1.0 34m long

Not the 8 mm ones.

These are the Russell Speedbleeders.
Yes part #639570 is correct for all 914's front and rear.

I may have paid a bit more for mine, but I don't care.
I'm not waiting or worrying. I keep it local whenever I can.

Yes, my SS lines are here and I got the left rear one on this evening. With just one line in and bled out, the pedal is *way* firm.
Not a moment too soon either. After pumping up the pedal I noticed a dribble out of the right rear rubber line.

As for the long clear hose, perfect set-up. Zip tie the end so it stays pointed into the reservoir. After bleeding, fold over the other hose end and clamp it so you don't lose the prime and the 4 or so onces of $60 per gallon Motul. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Maybe we'll get some pics of this tomorrow afternoon. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Oh yeah, the Russel part # for the four piece brake line kit is 687650.

Very nice product with a perfect fit.

The Speed bleeders use a 8mm wrench instead of the stock 7mm.
