Stoptech and Speedbleeder

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

What Speedbleeder valve is correct for Stoptech calipers???

I think you can use the thread size of the bleeders in the stoptech calipers and then cross over to the correct size. There may be other factors such as depth but I believe you can measure that as well. They are pretty helpful, give them a call.

Speedbleeders - four years and going strong.... Kept our stock bleed screws and have them with us - just in case, but LOVE THEM....

I posted about these awhile back. A few people sent me e-mails (and maybe replied in the thread?) saying don't use them, eventually they get grit and grime in them and end up stuck open.

I would wonder why so much dirt and crud in my brake system if that's the case.

I bet if you called them they would send you a replacent.

I can see where they would fail from time to time.

Janni, have you ever had to replace any speedbleeders?

 

[Janni]

Chuck,
Never had to replace one. One is a little funny - leaks a little when opened so have to open it just a wee bit. Otherwise, if they fail, they should work just like normal ones...

my opinion only....better off getting a vacuum bleeder. quicker than opening the bleed valve hopping in your car, pushing on the brake, hopping out....purchased thru snap on...have fun, keep your car prepped at all time.

Thanks Hem, I have a vacuum system but I used the bleeders this weekend and really liked them.

They make covers for the bleeders that will keep dirt out of them. They just snap on over the bleeder or you can use small vacuum caps to put over them.
