turbogrill Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, Have anyone used speed bleeders such as these: https://www.flyinmiata.com/speed-bleeders.html Sounds great! And would make bleeding easy. Curious if you have had any issues with them. More stuff that can break.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just screw onto the fluid reservoir and pump up to 20 psi, bleed brakes, easy peasy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPF Racing Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Summit sells them in pairs in every size you can think of. I do all the work on my cars alone for the most part so I have them on every car I have. They make it so easy if you don't want to go the pressure bleeder route. Only issue I've had is snapping one off because I was being a dipstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkuhn41 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 We have both a pressure bleeder and speed bleeders, we use both. Pressure is my favorite for just bleeding but in the pits a speed bleeder is fantastic. the way i looked at it IF they break they brake while bleeding not while racing so in other words they wont make a safety hazard. We have one on our clutch as well, that is where it is the best. Our clutch is a PITA to bleed but with speed bleeders its a quick few pumps and were not playing contortionist to reach the bleeder each time we pump the clutch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to do a full brake bleed from wheels up to wheels down in less than 3 minutes at Pitt using speed bleeders. We have a remote bleeder on the clutch on top of the firewall, but now Im definitely putting a speed bleeder in it! Don't know why that never crossed my mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
