Anyone using speed bleeders? Where did you get them? how much $?

thanks,

post on another forum indicated that brembos have speed bleeders so i am in good shape.

 

I used them with my stoptechs and stock rear (non-brembo). I actually had to take them off the stoptechs because I never was able to get a firm pedal with them. I had them on my last car with no probablems at all but for some reason they weren't working with the stoptechs.

 

I used Speed Bleeders when I did a four-wheel Stoptech install. They work perfectly and do exactly what they claim to do - allow you to bleed the brake system by yourself.

 

Where can I get speed bleeders for my Brembo's?

is where you can get them, i just have not figured out what size we need yet. If anyone can chime in, that would be great.

 

Just call them up. If they don't know they'll send you a few different ones to try. They sent me a couple different ones for my non-brembos and I just sent back the ones I didn't need.

Here's my review of SpeedBleeders and several other "one man" bleeding techniques: http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/b...ol/bleeder.htm

If your goal is to get the firmest possible brake pedal, you should use a technique such as the one I wrote up on my site: http://www.zeckhausen.com/bleeding_brakes.htm. One person bleeding will get fresh fluid in there. But it's simply not effective at removing stubborn bubbles clinging to interior surfaces. It only takes one tiny bubble to compromise pedal feel. You would be surprised how much better the brakes feel after you've whacked the caliper with a mallet, then burped out that last air bubble.

 

Call SpeedBleeders up and tell them what brakes you're using or installing. That's what I did. They were very helpful and they told me what size to order. They know the right sizing for the Stoptech kits.

 

BREMBO:
p/n SB1010S
# 10mm x 1
# 31.35mm length

350Z Non-Brembo:
(requires (1) Pair of SB1010 & (1) Pair of SB7100)
The Non-brembo calipers are Nissan front and Mitsubishi rear calipers and have different size bleeders front to rear..
