Default Warning DO NOT USE RUSSELL SPEED........

....BLEEDERS!!! they use cheap materials to make their bleed bolts. I was doing my brakes, the bleeding portion came up (i was all cheery) so i started the procedure with the rear right drum brakes. I removed my OEM bleed bolts (which are 14 YEARS OLD) with little effort. Then i proceeded to install my RUSSELL speed bleeder and SNAP it ****ING BREAKS!! I WAS PISSED. My opinion on RUSSELL spped bleeders if you see 'em @ T A S auto DO NOT USE THEM. I had purchased 2 pairs for the front and back now i'm scared to use the other ones i bought.

thanks for the warning, but I was always against it. I'd rather be able to see the color, air, and contaminants flow out of my brake's hydrolic system.

I use Earl's brand bleeders on one of my cars and if you connect a hose onto the bleeder, you can get out of the car and see the fluid that just came out still in the hose so you know when clean fluid is coming out.
