Speed bleeders question

[Corbusa]

Does anyone use these? I am a nut for maintenance. I'd rather prevent then fix.. So I was thinking of speed bleeders on the brakes , and was also curious about the clutch slave...

I've never used them, but heard they are only good for a couple of uses.

All I know for sure is that if I can find a helper, I can bleed my brakes the old fashioned way in about 20 minutes. You can also get 95% of the air out of a new caliper with a mighty-vac tool if you are in a bind and are working solo. I always bleed the old fashioned way because I know how the end reult will turn out.

Hey Mike , I havent heard or had an issue with them .. I have used them for years with motorcycles & trucks...
I may ask a lot of dumb questions ( it seems) But I'd rather ask a few stupid questions than make any mistakes .. The ZR is a new animal to me..
Thanks for looking out ....

:thumbsup: speed bleeders

I've put them on every Vette I've had ... no issues and bleeding is quick & easy.

I have them. They work great, but the issue is if you bleed a lot then the factory sealant will start to wear out. Soooo, when you order your stuff just order an extra tube of sealant from the web site. You apply it and bake for 20min(?) @ 140* (?) and you're good to go again.
