I've had far too much experience over the years doing brake jobs to discuss the issue any further with those who know more than I. It is a waste of effort. I do agree with proper preparation to avoid accidents followed by immediate cleanup which is key to a successful job. If you are one of those who are all thumbs and you know you are, take the job to someone who knows how to do it right. Everyone needs assistance from time to time and there's no disgrace for seeking it. Today things are very different than days gone by. Now you simply unbolt the old one bolt on the new one, fill'er up and go. And by the way, thank you for the kind reply Bert.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Anybody else have trouble putting in Speed Bleeders?

I now use a vacuum bleeder system where I use a vacuum generator connected to my compressor. I use an intermediate container that is connected to vacuum generator and a line goes from the container to the brake bleeder. You apply the vacuum and crack open the bleeder and the fluid is drawn through the lines. Make sure to monitor the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir to make sure no air gets in the lines. Close the bleeder when the fluid runs clear from the bleeder. This may be a 2 person job.

Thanks both to Utah Pete & TP, I had already found them on the speed bleeders website and was going to question this till TP pointed it out.

Ss bleeders
I went with the SS. They are a lot more than the basic, but they are better quality.
If you have the dollars, go ahead and purchase the SS.
AIways buy what you can afford.
Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:

I have worked on a "LOT" of older vehicles, none of which had SS bleeders.
The only problems that I have encountered were where someone used the wrong tools to try to open them or the bleeder hole was full of mud. SS would not have stopped any of this.
Always use either a 6 point socket or 6 point wrench of the "CORRECT" size and never use vise grips or pliers to open them.
