Uhhh, you might want to pump the brakes more than once or twice.

this wasn't to flush the whole brake system, just to bleed out a little fluid. the hose is white because i hadn't pushed the brake pedal yet. rest assured, after 2 pumps the fluid got any air out.

Oh i am not worried, just saying if you are going to go through bleeding the brakes, you might as well do it right. Just my $.02

how is there any other way to bleed the brakes other than to just let out enough fluid to make sure there is no air bubbles. if i was going to flush the whole system, i would use ate superblue yellow and remove all the blue fluid. why should i pump more than twice???

I like my set too. Altho, I have some issues with the one for the clutch slave. Sometimes it'll randomly leave air pocketed...especially if you don't open it wide enough. The stock bleeder is much less of a hassle.

Where'd you get the tube and baggie? I didn't find it on their site. Also, the site's kinda confusing on what size I need for my civic (EX 10.3" calipers). Thanks.

tube and baggy are listed on the speedbleeder site under products, i believe. they are overpriced but it is a one time purchase that makes the job even cleaner/easier.

i have the speedbleeders also.. I've learned that if your car isn't lowered, you can bleed them without even jacking the car up. Its easy and quick. I'm sure you can still do it if its lowered, but it'll be more painful .....

i give speedbleeders a

It's for the generation of "do a search threads."
