very easy inexpensive way to bleed brakes by yourself reliably

[slyedog240sx]

I used this last night to bleed my brakes after i let the lines gravity bleed to flush the system.Worked very well.For 8 bucks each they are easier ,and cleaner than speed bleeders.Less messy than stick some tubing in a bottle of fluid.http://www.otctools.com/produc...=1530

No i run a parts store and bought 4 of them through work.Any parts store should be able to get otc tools.Even sears can get them i think.Should run around 8 bucks retail.

i dont get it. do a write up or somethin on how you actually use these.

since it basically just seems like an elongated rubber speed-bleeder.

Yeah, and how exactly is that cleaner than a hose and bottle? It's just the same thing as hose and bottle without the wrench... and you still need a wrench in the beginning anyway.

im confused also at how it works

[slyedog240sx]

it's simple guys.It has fingers on the end that attaches to the bleeder screw with a washer that slides over them to lock onto the bleeder screw.You twist the bleeder 1/4 to 1/2 turn.Attach hose, lock fingers on, stick other end in a bottle.Pump till pedal feels good, tighten bleeder and you are done.It's cleaner since you aren't disposing of a bunch of wasted fluid from a bottle and there is no way air can come back in.I don't have time to take my wheel off to do a writeup right now but will someday when i have time.It is basically a speed bleeder with a hose attached.I work on a few vehicles on the side and it is useful in that aspect.Plus it is cheaper in the long run for multiple uses than buying speed bleeders for every vehicle you workon.
