Default Speed Bleaders

Hey guys,

Speedbleaders were mentioned in another thread and I would like to get some. I just ticked 45k and it's about that time to bleed the brake and clutch fluid. I used to have them on a previous car and they were great. Does anybody have a part number? Search yeilded nothing. Thanks.

I have been using Earl's Solo-Bleed Brake Bleeders rather than speedbleeders. The Earl's bleeders have a different design that do not count on the thread sealant so I have not had problems with them. You can get them from Summit.

Sweet. Thanks guys. For future reference the part number from summit is EAR-280028ERL.

They are currently backordered but I went ahead and ordered 3 pairs anyway. I'll do a review once I get them and bleed the brakes.

I don't understand this. The speed bleeders do not depend on the thread sealant except when bleeding. Once they are tightened down after bleeding they sea1 with a seat just like any other bleed plug. You can also purchase new thread sealant if the original wears off.

The Earl's bleeders look like the same design to me.
