Re: One Person Brake Bleeding with a Mityvac

I also found that bleeding brakes with a Mighty Vac was a PITA. I found what I think is a better and faster way

I discovered Speed Bleeders while fighting the brakes on my Ford Power Stroke F250.

Speed Bleeders are bleed screws that have a check valve in them and also have a coating on the threads to prevent the air intrusion passed the threads.

You slip a piece of tubing over the nipple, into a container, open the bleeder a quarter turn and pump the peddle. It's quick and clean and works.

You can find them by googleing "speed bleeder" or on E-bay the same way. About $7.00 each. Cheap at twice the price, I have them in every vehicle I work on.
