Yes. I had to replace the rear brake line because the last owner hit somthing on the line and crushed it under the drivers seat and i'm shure I have not goten all the air out.

the best brake bleeding thing i ever bought...... speed bleeders.


they are a bleeder valve with a one way valve inside... all you do is loosen the bleeder, pump the pedal (while watching the fluid level) and then close the valve.

thats it.

it makes all 4 wheels by yourself a 20 min job... and they are 100% perfectly blead...

also it makes fluid changes a breeze....

you can order the earls ones thru summit racing (1 800 230 3030, http://www.summitracing.com/)

or for the orginal version from the man who invented them: http://www.speedbleeder.com/


there are some great pics of how they work at http://www.speedbleeder.com/ too....

nope.. cant get them there. i had to order mine thru summit when i lived in SC..

if you're in the charleston area, Parks Auto parts has a small speed shop that MIGHT have them...

but if you have to order them, might as well go thru summit.
