Title: Front Wheel Cylinders
Post by: James Buchan on June 09, 2007, 01:52:41 PM
I ordered a set of Speed Bleeders a few weeks ago and went to pu them in today - The two rears and passenger front went nice and easy so I move onto the last wheel (drivers front) and WTF!!!! the bleeder is a 7mm (or something around there) and should be a M6x1 Frickin' after market crap!!!


O well - ACVW.net will bail me out.

Its a bleeder screw with a built in ball valve that when cracked open with let you bleed the brake cylinder by depressing the brake pedel in the car.......It is supposed to be a quick way to do your brakes.............every set i ever sold was defective and all the guys in the scca used them for about one race....Those who did not crash took them off.
contaminate quickley on street cars.
BAD JAMES!!!!

I agree
I put them in my Baja tried them out did not like the feel seem to leave the brakes spongy. Pulled them out and went back to stock bleeders. I complained to them, sent them back and suppose to be getting a credit for them, $7.00 each. I will see and let you know.
