Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but…
After doing the two-man mambo round-and-round my car bleeding the brakes (loosen, “Press”, “Release. I said effing release”, tighten), I decided to invest in some Speed Bleeders. I figured it would allow me to do the job myself and not further jeopardize my relationship with my 17-year-old son. I’ve ordered four of them from Pelican and I am waiting for them to arrive.
However, in checking the Speed Bleeder site, I noticed the following:
"metric wrenches will not work with Speed Bleeder even though it might have a metric sized thread. You have to use an inch wrench or SAE wrench size"
My first question is, what size wrench do you need? I’ve accumulated various metric wrenches but I’m sure that I’ll probably not have the right size SAE wrench for the bleeders.
Second, how did you guys install these things? Did you just yank out the stock bleed valves and quickly insert the Speed Bleeders while brake fluid happily spluged all over the place?
Any advice would be appreciated.
