They were used by PhilMeUp in his build thread and caught my attention.Ever wanted to change your brake fluid, but needed two people to do the job.Hate having to depend on someone else to help get the job done?Well speed bleeders is the answer. Allows you to do the job on your own.http://www.speedbleeder.com/This is the page with the sizes listedhttp://www.speedbleeder.com/size.htmThe part recommended by PhilMeUp was the sb1010s. This was searched for high and dry on Aussie soil without any success.I finally caved in and ordered through Ebay. I did look at amazon as recommended by PhilMeIUp but I have not purchased from there.I feel more comfortable with Ebay and so I got this ordered from this seller due to his ratings.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331360902859?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosen the nipple, go pump the brake pedal and then tighten the nipple again.I flush the brake fluid on my taxi every 4 to 6 months. I do this late at night on my own. Last time it took me 45 minutes to completely flush the fluid and adjust the handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one uses the longer SB1010.The SB1010S works in:- The standard Falcon front calipers (both 298 and 322mm).- The PBR 325mm calipers.- Brembo 4 and 6 piston calipers - front and rear.They are all a 10 x 1.0 thread. It's just that the hole is deeper on the 328mm caliper, so that requires a longer threaded section on the nipple.All these things do is allow you to bleed or flush the brake fluid on your own. If you've got a friend or woman around that can help then he/she can pump the brake pedal while you loosen and tighten the standard nipple. I'm always doing stuff late at night on my own, so for me they are essential. One of these days I'll sort out a pressure bleeder bottle that pushes brake fluid through at the reservoir.I've been using the same set on my taxi for a few years now. There's goo on the thread to maintain a seal when I loosen the nipples. Although I bought a bottle of replacement goo a few years ago, I haven't had to use it yet. The goo on the original speed bleeders is still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how peddlers checked this all as part of their check.Getting them replaced with nolothane gear. Also getting a camber kit put in as part of the deal.Will have to wait till later on to find out if it helps reduce the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
