Speed Bleeders
 

Bought some Solo-bleed bleeders for my calipers, check them out online at:

Earl's Performance 280027ERL - Earl's Performance Solo-Bleed Brake Bleeders - summitracing.com

apparently they come in pairs and I don't wanna bother returning them, so I'm offering them to you guys, free shipping. aka $20 to your door for a full set (4 bleeders.)

I know this isn't want you want to hear.. but I've seen enough failed or failing speed bleeders to steer clear of them.

It's worth finding someone to help you for a few minutes.

I've had mine for almost 8 years now

I'll take them if they fit an '00.

they work ok - but teflon tape the threads. else you get air through them.

I'm not sure if they fit a 2000 miata. can anyone varify this for sv650 ck? 280027-erl and 280025-erl part # if you want to cross reference on summit racing.

Braineack did you have any problems with air escaping past the threads? just to be clear, they're the solo-bleeds with the spring loaded valve outside the threads, not the speed-bleeders with the valve in the threaded body (aka after the threads)

probably shoulda named the thread differently...

no I have speed-bleeders; valve in the body. No issues. Had them since 2001-2 IIRC, around there when I started autoxing.

Won't fit an '00 - according to Summitt they fit 90 - 94.

I just put the drivers side on, and damn. they make it easy, just a 1/4-1/2 turn and pump the brakes for a few seconds, close, next caliper. I likey. and I'm happy to announce that they're the right size, so again, $20 shipped to whomever wants 'em

if they fit a 97, ill take them ... I hate bleeding brakes, but i hate spongey brakes even more

edit: nevermind, for a 97, this is the part to get http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I call dibs if akaryrye bails. I can Paypal today.

Automobile Applications says they're the same '90-'97, so they're sold to akaryrye. PM for payment details.

here's the site I was reading about them from if anyone cares:

Spec Miata Community: Speed Bleeders, what size?

I see you two viewing this thread btw, vultures.

Not sure who you're referring to.
I'm interested in peoples comments on the bleeders is all.

akaryrye and savington were eying to see who gets them, at least thats what I thought they were doing. I've used them once in the dark in a small car port and they're awesome, didn't even need to get all the way in the car. just cracked the valves open a 1/2 turn, stuck my foot in the car and pumped the brake. I was seeing solid fluid by the 5th or 6th pump, and thats with a fairly empty system.

one more thing, if anyone buys these, buy an extra rear, it'll work in the clutch slave apparently (this info gotten from previously linked specmiata site)

sav, you got the dibs ... enjoy

Speed-bleeders rock!

I'm up at 4:45am right now, but won't be back until 3:30ishpm, so sav, if you PM me don't expect a response right away, but I should be able to mail them either today or tomorrow
