    Tried 'em, loved 'em, will buy them again. Much easier than telling the wife "push down, OK let up. Push down, WAIT DON"T LET UP YET!" :D

    A couple Speed Bleeders came with my locker. I plan on trying them out this weekend when I put the axles back in. I've heard good reports on them.

    Dredging up an old thread...

    Inside of SSDutch's master cylinder is *nasty*...thinking a system flush is in order.

    What are the odds that one set of speed bleeders would fit both the 9" brakes I have now, and the 11" drums I'll be swapping in soon?

    Mike, pull one of your bleeders out and check the size, if its a 1/4-28 thread then it is the same as the 10" drums, The #SB1428 is the smallest standard size they make anyway and thats the one for drums for Jeep CJ's from 67-71.
    The 72-75 Cj's used the SB3824 which is a 3/8-24 thread.
    Then from 76 on they different front to rear on some applications.

    Heres a link:http://www.speedbleeder.com/

    They actually weren't as 'spensive as I was thinking....pretty sure I could peddle a set off here if they didn't work on the 11".
