One Man Brake Bleeder
Any of you guys use a one man brake bleeder? I've bought cheap ones in the past that flat out didn't work. I'd like to get something that works and works well! I need to change out my brake fluid, stuff looks like Coke.
I had also through about speed bleeders so if anyone has used those I'd be curious how those work out as well.
Thanks in advance!

Re: One Man Brake Bleeder
LJ,
Lots of people on the Vette forum say A+ to the speed bleeders. (and trust me are these guys anal)
So I would go for it.
Are you doing a fluid drain and replacement?
If not, then you dont need to bleed... let me know and I can give you the 411
If so, then yeah speed bleed or there is one that uses what looks to be a plastic sprayer or vacuum jug too

Re: One Man Brake Bleeder
When i replaced all my brake hoses with Crown Performance stainless steel brake lines, i used this to bleed the brakes. Easy to use and one man job. If you have a tech 2, you can also do an automatic bleed for the abs accumulator.

Re: One Man Brake Bleeder
I've looked at those Mityvacs.
I don't need to technically bleed the system of air, I want to replace the fluid because it is extremely black.

Re: One Man Brake Bleeder
I thought about buying Russell Speed Bleeders and some tubing to make it a one man job instead of using pressure/vacuum kits. Then I read the H2's already have one way bleeder screws...can anyone confirm this? I don't want to blow the money on the speed bleeders if we already have them!

Re: One Man Brake Bleeder
When I did mine I used a one man system. It was nothing fancy. I sucked out the old fluid from the reservoir, put new in. Then drained each line until fresh fluid came out. I don't recall the name of the tool, just remember it was easy, one man, and did the job.
