speed bleeders/check valve idea ...

[par]

what's wrong with this idea.

1) Buy just one speed bleeder valve (any size; cheapest)
2) Attach hose to bleeder valve
3) Submerge in brake fluid in coke bottle (drink coke first!)
4) Attach other end of hose to brake fitting
5) Crack brake fitting and pump pedal.
6) Close brake fitting.
7) Do next wheel.

It seems you have the ease of a speed bleeder valve, but don't have to buy a full set of speed bleeders.

O_O

that is a good idea!.... as long as the pressure required to open the bleed valve isnt enough to pop the hose off the caliper.

One man bleeders are hoses with check valves.

Speedbleeder needs to be screwed in since it takes place of the normal bleeder screw.

speed bleeders are only sold in pairs. other than that a decent idea. i just found it easier to buy 3 pairs, 2 pair up front adn 1 in the rear. brembo calipers have 2 bleeders each.
