I'm getting the bits together to change brake fluid and have come across these speed bleeders, basically you replace the bleed nipple for one with a built in check valve, this allows you to bleed them yourself
I haven't seen them before but they are made by goodridge so should be ok and at around £25 for 4 it's not a money decision
Seems some guys who track their cars use them to run some fluid out of the callipers during the cooling off period
Any body used them or have an opinion?

 

i've never used them, but they seem pointless.
might aswell just get a no-return bleeding kit; atleast you can use it on more than your current car.

 

I've got one of these in the garage - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165727

Seems to work okay - no pumping pedals etc - but one does have to use low tyre pressure to operate it.

 

Not very relevant but I ve got one of these- very easy to work with.

 

Interesting! Quite sensible, but a bit overkill.

 

WHS. You'll want to attach a pipe anyway (unless you're planning on pissing brake fluid everywhere), so you may as well attach a pipe with a valve in it and you've got exactly the same thing.

 

Bought something similar to this and it is very easy to use http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=109708
I do not put the brake fluid in the container of the device but top up the reservoir in the car with brake fluid and use air pumped by the device to bleed but I avoid going below minimum level in the reservoir to avoid air getting in the system as a precaution. If you put brake fluid in the device and use it as intended, it is probably easier to use but then I don't have to clean out the device.

 

people do realise that oxhouser is speaking of http://www.speedbleeder.com/, and not bleeding kits?
