I bought some Speed Bleeders the other day at Automotive Engineering (what a place!) and let me just say...HELL YA!!
No longer do I have to convince people passing by to pump my brakes give beer to friends for helping; I only need myself!! I bled my brake system in 5minutes and didnt once have to yell UP or DOWN. I feel so spoiled...
My only concern is the thread sealant on bleeder screw. The guy at Automotive Engineering didnt understand what I was getting at but when you open the bleeder screw air can be sucked in past the threads this is the reason Speed Bleeders are coated with a thread sealant. Anyways my concern is when opening and closing the bleeder screw eventually the sealant is going to wear off. No biggie though I dont plan on bleeding my brakes more than once a year and I guess liquid teflon will do the trick just as well.

Only 12bucks a pair up at Automotive Engineering AND they were in stock. Its odd to buy performance car parts at a place where they are actually IN stock. Cant get over it...
By the way John you guys didnt have the part numbers on file for the 96+ civic drums but I used the 8mm bleeders for the 5th gen civic drums and they fit just right.

Hey John I specifically came to see you. I had roses and a stuffed teddy bear...
But seriously I got your PM that you wouldnt be there in the morning only the afternoon. I stopped by around 1 or so but you still werent there. Ill drop by tomorrow though since I want to get some header wrap and also check out what size helmet my monster head needs.
