Actually, I've been planning to do that, but it's down a ways on my list.

 

what do you guys mean losing pressure?

 

The way the Motive power bleeder works is, you put a certain amount of fluid in this tank with a handle to pump air pressure. The tank has a tube connected to a cap. You take off your MC cap, twist the power bleeder cap on in its place. Then you pump air into the tank to pressurize the brake system (the same way it when you step on the brakes) and you go around each caliper and bleed the brakes. When you pressurize the power bleeder, air leaks through the cap. Apparently that's a problem with the unit for Hondas and maybe other imports. It's sold with an universal adapter to fit most imports.
Here is a pic of if

I've never used this before, so someone correct me if I left anything out.

BTW, I did a search on SpeedBleeders vs. EARLS Solo Bleed (in UTH forum) and it looks like the Earls is a bit better system, as it has less chance of leaking over time.
Having said that, I used Speedbleeders on my GSR for 4 years and never had any problems. Just be careful not to over tighten the things, because apparently that's what causes them to start leaking over time.

 

You are supposed to put brake fluid into the motive reservoir - I never do. Never had a problem or a mushy brake pedal, as long as you check your fluid level after bleeding a wheel and don't run it low, it should work fine. Basically you're just pressurizing the brake system.

As for attaching the PITA universal cap on, I saw someone use 2 of these at the track: Ratchet bar clamp. Brilliant! Quick, cheap and MUCH easier than the chain.

 

That's good news, because they recommend you put a lot of fluid in the tank. But if you're only bleeding, you'll only end up using a little. I'm buying 2 of those clamps this weekend. thanks for the tips.

 

I just bought and installed speed bleeders on my car. Even though it came with thread sealant applied to them, I still got a small leak from two of the bleeders. It looks like the leak's coming from the thread area. I'm going to take them out tomorrow and apply more sealant and see if that fixes the leak.

 

Maybe you overtightened them when you installed them. If you do that, I think you may have effectively ruined the "gasket effect" of the sealant. Once ruined, it won't seal again next time you loosen to bleed and re-tighten.

Website instruction says "Screw in the Speed Bleeder

 

It looks like I fixed the leak. I took all four bleeders off the car even though only two of them leaked. I checked the original sealant and found the two leaking ones didn't seem to have enough of it. I then cleaned them with soapy water, dried them, brushed on more sealant and then dried them in the oven. No more leaks now.

 

Weird that two didn't have enough sealant (never had that problem on 3 sets on 3 cars), though it may have gotten stripped off on installation. Good they are working now. Guess you re-bled again to get rid of any air that might have gotten in.

 

Yep. I bled the brake fluid again after reinstallation. What's interesting is that even though I just put in ATE Blues, the brake fluid color that came out was the original light brown. I guess I should have kept flushing the brake fluid until it turned dark blue instead of light blue. I didn't have that issue with the front brakes though. Oh well.
