The old manual way
Bleeding brakes used to be a difficult thing
to do in the past. It generally required two people to bleed
brakes. You had to have one person pump the
brake pedal while you had the mechanic open and close the
bleeder screw. You had to coordinate the openings
and closings with the pumper. If you didn't coordinate the
timing correctly you could end up with more
air in the system than when you started.
Alternative ways
Bleeding brakes can be done a number of ways:
You could
use a pressure bleeder that attaches to your master cylinder and pressurizes
the system.
You open each
bleeder screw individually to bleed your brakes. It costs about $300.00.
It works very
well, but who
wants to invest $300.00 to bleed one or two vehicles.
A vacuum bleeder
is another way to bleed brakes. It attaches to your bleeder screw and sucks
the fluid
from the master
cylinder, thus bleeding your brakes. If not used correctly, it too can let
air into your
brake system.
It costs from $30.00-$100.00.
The new and improved way !
Introducing SPEED BLEEDER®,
the patented bleeder screw with the built-in check valve. It is truly a
one-person bleeder screw. Once installed, it
becomes a permanent part of the brake system. When it is
time to bleed your brakes, you loosen the Speed
Bleeder 1/4 - 1/2 turn and pump your brake pedal. When
the pedal is depressed the pressure generated
opens the check valve letting air and brake fluid out of the
end of the Speed Bleeder. When you release
the pedal and it returns to the up position, the check valve
closes and prevents any air from reentering
the system through the Speed Bleeder. When bubble free fluid
is evident you close the Speed Bleeder.
In the closed position it works just like your stock bleeder screw and
prevents any brake fluid from leaking out.
It generally takes about 5 pumps to purge each caliper or wheel
cylinder. That is all there is to bleeding
your brakes. If at a later date you need to bleed your brakes, the
patented thread sealing system makes it easy
to open the bleeder screw to perform the bleeding operation.
It is made of quality materials and it is economical.
More Reasons to Use Speed Bleeders
The chamber
for the ball and spring is precision reamed and the seat for the stainless
steel ball is
machined to exacting
tolerances.
Zinc chromate
plating to withstand a 30 hour salt spray. Other plating with higher
salt spray results is
also available.
Patented thread
sealing system seals the threads when the bleeding operation is performed,
preventing air
from being sucked back into the system.
The pre-applied
thread sealant also displaces air and moisture during thread engagement
preventing
rust...which
usually results in rounded off corners on the hex or busted off bleeder
screws making it
necessary to
replace the caliper or brake cylinder. The application of thread sealant
thus makes it easy
to loosen or
remove the bleeder screw at any time.
