I am wondering if anybody has installed a set of the Russell Speed bleeder valves on the brake calipers... I searched and came up with nothing.... I have used them on other car's before and they work great for a one man bleeding operation and since I am rebuilding the calipers, I figured it would be a good addition... BUT, I need to know the correct part number or the correct thread pitch of the stocks to place an order.....


Thanks

 

Any luck finding them?

 

take your stock bleed screw out, measure the size and pitch, then order. i dont see a complication.

they do work great.

 

Part#639570
7mmx1.0
Good stuff!

 

Thanks... It was not complicated... I just wanted to order everything before I disassembled the brakes.... I like to things done fast (if possible).... They are the best and make bleeding jobs a one man task.......

 

Never heard of them, anybody got a pic. and quick explaination of how they work.

 

"Russell's patented new Speed Bleeders are the one-man bleeder valves with a stainless steel one-way check ball and spring. Install them in place of the original bleeder valves, and when it is time to bleed your brakes, simply crack them open 1/2 to 1/4 turn and continuously pump the brakes. The spring-loaded check ball opens to let out the old brake fluid and air, then closes between pumps to prevent the old fluid or air from re-entering the brake system. When new fluid starts coming out the Speed Bleeder, all the old fluid is bled from the system and you close the Speed Bleeder down. There is a patented thread compound on the Speed Bleeder that prevents air from leaking past the threads and also keeps the Speed Bleeder from seizing in the caliper. Sold in pairs, Speed Bleeders are available in both metric and standard sizes to fit most vehicles with hydraulic brakes or clutches."

Wow, I wish Id thought of that.

 

Ive had them on my car for a couple years now, work well and make it very easy to dump the whole system if you want...

 

so what size is needed for our cars and where can you get them?

 

I believe they are the same as a non turbo supra, as per speed bleeders site SB7100....

 

I like this idea... it'll be important when i upgrade
