brake bleed valves advice
 
ok, i updated my brakes this weekend and i ended up having to buy new break bleeder thingys...word of advice, since i did not see this coming...my bleeders were crap, the small holes on the inside were clogged and did not allow any bleeding, possibly cause by water in the system, looked like rust possibly and could not be cleaned, so i bought new ones, cheap...
moral of story, if you are going to do your brakes soon, consider buying new bleeder valves up front and changing them out before they get all shitty
just trying to look out for people...i highly recommend this to everyone, and you could use this as a reason why to flush your brake system...

I've had them on for about 7 years with no problems.

does everyone get them from same source? which kind do you use?

paul 10-08-2007 04:57 PM

fronts take 8mm x 1, rears take 7mm x 1. i used to get mine from speedbleeder.com but lately been getting them from Shore Motorsports because it's much quicker.
