Ok well yet another hurdle them help section auto store speed bleeders suck.
Well they worked good enough to bleed the brakes but one of them wouldn't stop leaking.
if 1 out of 2 in a pack is bad, I ain't gamblin again.
Course I stuck the stock bleeders back in to return those. But Id still like to have some speed bleeders around. What kinda are reliable.
last thing ya want is a speed bleeder working when it shouldn't.
Odd was when they looked em up for me they said I needed the coarse thread ones. Where my calipers were fine thread.
Also one stock bleeder was a 3/8 the other was a 10mm
same threads though. Oh caliper are new reman's if anyone ask.

Earl's SoloBleeds. I just put them on my front calipers today (along with Earl's ss flex lines) and bleeding the brakes was way easy. Now, on to the rears!!

where did you get them?
What size were yours?
one listed in the computer for my car didn't fit, they were a coarse thread.
Mine were finer like thread and 3/8" -24

I bought them from Summit. Along with the Earl's ss flex hoses. They fit and work perfect. I think mine are metric, I use a 10mm wrench on them.
I get real quick delivery from Summit, their Nevada warehouse is only about a 2 hour drive, so shipping takes 2 days max.
