Default Speed bleeders?

Anyone make them for Hondas? I'm guessing it's a pretty universal thing.

i think Russell makes them. ive got a set, but never installed or used them.

the empty water bottle, clear tubing and a friend to push the pedal has always worked perfectly.

maybe I got a bad one, but after I installed a set on my car the two I had in the rear leaked when the car was on the track.. I put the stock ones back in and have never had a problem... other than finding a friend to help blead the brakes

I've had mine for four seasons, no issues at all.

Something that is important to remember is that the Speedbleeders do not appear to be fully seated when they are fully closed, but they <u>are</u> fully closed.

If you continue to try to torque them down, you will strip threads and introduce leaks to anotherwise sound braking system.

Don't overtighten them.

Had them on CRX and now on my Civic. They've always worked great for me.

I have them on the front of my ITR, need to get the rears as the rears on a 97 is different than other ITR's. Have had them on for 4 years now, no problems
