Customer Review :

A must have snatch-em strap.

I work for a utility company & I have used this to pull out several heavy trucks including bucket trucks. My buddy was so impressed we ordered him one. This is will work even if you don't have 4-wheel drive due to the stretching action of the strap.

Very good!

I recommend this product to anyone who is looking to have a nice and reliable towstrap to help other trucks/cars (or your own) in those situations with no traction. Used mine with no problem and great results!!

Customer Review :

Excellent Performance, Will Buy Again

I installed these in my 2003 Civic Si. Their performance is excellent, no fade and noticeably smoother and better brake performance over OEM brakes I had installed. I've had them installed for about two months now with virtually no dust accumulation. The slight noise I hear I believe is due to the EBC slotted/dimpled rotors I replaced the OEM rotors with. These pads are light years better than OEM or any Raybestos OE replacement.

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, Amazon's price/prime shipping. I highly recommend them and would most definitely purchase again.

Edelbrock/Russell 639560 Speed Bleeder Edelbrock/Russell 639560 Speed Bleeder
Price : $9.88
Features :
  1. Computer engineered and wound spring ensures accurate progressive spring rate
  2. Thread size is 10mm x 1 and the overall length is 35mm
  3. Precision honed I.D. assures maximum flow which enhances bleeding
  4. Uses OEM style sealing area to guarantee a positive leak-proof seal
  5. Unique double-patent design ensures authenticity

Average Customer Rating :

Editorial Review :

The Edelbrock/Russell Speed Bleeder replaces the original bleeder valves in calipers and wheel cylinders with a spring-loaded one-way ball and check valve design. This unique check ball design opens to allow the old fluid and air out and closes automatically between the pumps preventing the old fluid and air from re-entering the line. A special coating on the speed bleeder threads keep it from admitting air into the system and keeps expelled air and fluid out. The check ball is centerless ground 410 stainless steel which resists corrosion and galling. It features a patented thread sealing system that displaces air and moisture during thread engagement as well as eliminates air from being pulled back into the system during bleeding.

Customer Review :

Speed Bleeders ROCK !!!

Speed bleeders work great, period. Take a hard job that requires two people and do it your self in a few minutes.

I replaced steel lines on my GM truck and saved a $100 trip to the dealer to get the air out of the ABS unit. The speed bleeders allow you to pump the pedal fast enough to get the air out with out paying to cycle the valves in the ABS unit.

They were an exact match as the original OEM bleeders.

Also, to the guy that broke his bleeder off, just send in the caliper to Speed Bleeder and they will remove the broken one, replace it with a new one and send it back to you for FREE.

My next set will be Stainless Steel to avoid rust.

Perfect fit

I installed these on my 1997 Outback ... fit was perfect ... was easily able to do a brake flush by myself ... I took one star off because the package did not include any directions for installation or use ... it's not that hard to figure out, but still ... BTW, there are two bleeders in the package, a detail left out of the description above.

Work but issues with seat shape, strength

I have used Russell Speed bleeders on several cars. They are an okay compromise if you must bleed brakes yourself and / or don't have a pressurized / vacuum bleeding tool and / or need the convenience for frequent track-side bleeds as I do. The internal check valve does work as promised but several of mine have leaked after many bleeding cycles, so I consider this an eventual wear item. The main reason for my single star rating is that they are more fragile than stock bleeders. There are no directions so during a recent install I torqued them to the factory original specs per my service manual, only to have one snap off, thus ruining my caliper and causing a very expensive repair. Another negative is that the seat angles are not identical to stock, so once installed they gall the seat in such a way that you may not be able to reinstall a stock bleed screw without leaking. In the end I'm no longer using them on current or future cars.

Questions & Answers
Question : How should I thank the elves who bled my car's brake system for me?
A couple days ago I had to change the left rear caliper on my '95 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme using a Murray's refurbished replacement. After replacing it I used one of those one-man bleed kits to bleed the two rear calipers. When done I took her out for a test drive but noticed the brakes felt spongy and weak; the pedal seemed to have too much play.Well of course I figured there was still air left in the lines and I'd have to bleed the system again. But when I drove the car the next morning the brakes felt firm and solid! Since the brake lines can't bleed themselves I figured some nice car elves must have dropped by during the night and did all the work for me. How thoughtful of them! What's the best way for me to thank them for their kindness?

Answer:
What probably happened was when you first put it together the Caliper was fully expanded and it took several usages to get it all the way down. Not unusual when changing calipers or replacin pads. You might want to check the fluid to see that it's topped off now that the system has set in.

Question : If a Brake system is contaminated is it common for just one brake to lock up ?
My 01 dodge dakota's passenger front brake locked up and the dealership said the system is contaminated and they say i have to replace the whole brake system 3200 dollars ,i think im being scammed because i didnt buy the vehicle from dodge somebody help

Answer:
You're getting scammed!If there is contamination in your lines, any good brake shop can flush the lines, and the MOST common cause of a front brake locking up is ...1 - Caliper frozen from mechanical failure. It happens.2 - severe warping of rotor, leading to caliper binding.Your brake system is sealed, and it just doesn't get 'contaminated' to any degree that will cause a caliper to lock up.Go to a local brake shop, and expect 300 to 500 dollars at most.

Question : How do I fix a 2003 honda element brake system that has been contaminated with power steering fluid?
I got power steering fluid into my master cylinder by mistake. I broke down on the road by having the brakes cease up on me. I had it towed to big o tires and was told that the system has been contaminted with an oil product (power steering fluid I think). I need to fix this and think I can replace the components myself. but don't know what to do about the aBs module replacedment and scan tool part?

Answer:
How much power steering fluid did you get in there? it can't be much.the only way to do it right is to flush out the brake fluid. start by using a turkey baster or a syphon to remove all of the fluid from the master cylidner. then start the flush; you can do that by opening the bleeder valve on the far right wheel then put a hose over the bleeder and pump the brake pedal to get all of the fluid out of that line. then go to the left rear and do the same thing. then the right front and then the left front. keep adding new brake fluid to the master cylinder to replace the fluid that comes out.do that about 3 times and you should get all of the contaminated fluid out of the system,i can't quite understand how the contaminated fluid would cause the brakes to lock. I could see it causing the pedal to fade or drop when hot but power steering fluid is a hydraulic fluid and even though its a different base (petroleum v. mineral oil) I don't see how it would cause the system to lock.I don't think the ABS is a separate issue. I imagine you could open a line on the ABS and pump the brake pedal to try to get the fluid out of there as well.as for the seizing, find out what seized and go from there. the front brakes have calipers that can be rebuilt; rear brakes are usually disc as well.

Question : How does the hydraulic brake system in a car work?
as part of some science work i have to explain how a hydraulic brake system works

Answer:
easyest way to discribe how it woks is..its like a bike hand pump with 4 pipes going to each wheel..the pump handle is the foot brake,just replace the air in the pump with brake fluid,at the end of each pipe theres a smaller hand pump...when you push the big hand pump all other little pumps are forced open[these will be the brake calipers/cylnders...thats about that really...then youve got the brake servo,it uses a vacume from the engine[or a vac pump] to assist in the braking effort....hope this helps
