| | Posted : 11 Mar 2016 - 13:03 Post title : Bleeder screw size? | | | I did a brake job on my truck, and threw on some speed bleeders. So much easier, and a better result than having my 12yo daughter pump the brakes (sometimes before I'm ready...getting shot of fluid in the mug).
Fast Eddy lists them, but doesn't show the thread/size (my truck uses M7 up front and M10 in back). Anyone know what size? I can get most sizes at the local NAPA, etc.
Thanks,
Jamie

I checked around and ordered from Eddy; didn't really find a much better [delivered] price and the parts he ships he's already vetted on his TBird.

So looks like I have to do some shopping to save on shipping, and get other stuff I would've needed anyway!!!

(Re: bnz433) | | | Here's alittle trick of the trade for ya Jamie.Instead of buying all these fantasy tools or accessories,try doin what I do,which I've been doin for years.I use a piece of 2X3 alittle longer than the distance between the seat and the brake pedal so it fits between the two when the pedal is depressed.I pump the brake pedal several times with my hand,holding the pedal down,again with my hand,place the piece of 2X3 between the seat and the brake pedal to hold it in that position,then open and close the bleeder,repeating the procedure several times, until I see only brake fluid coming out of the bleeder.Works pisser and cost me nothing but a piece of wood.It's only a suggestion in case you're interested!! Dave!!!

| | Posted : 15 Mar 2016 - 13:53 Post title : Re: Bleeder screw size? (Re: davetac1) | | | Yeah, I've done that, too. But after putting these on my truck, all it takes is a 1/4 turn on each screw, pump 3-4 times, then go tighten the screw and move to the next wheel. No fiddling with the 2x4 length, seat location, etc. $30, one time, and now it's easy peasy.
Plus, I like the idea...being an engineer and all...cuz it's pretty cool, and quite simple!!! And don't wanna use 2x4's on my beloved Storm!
