Brake Bleeding
My Crossfire has Speed Bleeders all around, my wife has a Hyundai that does not get things lavished on it, as it is strictly a means of going from A to B for her.
The brakes pads were jammed in the callipers and wrecking the rotors so I decided to do a pad and rotor job on it myself. At the same time, I would bleed the brakes and replace all the fluid.
I had at one time purchased a little kit so that I could do the job on my own. This kit works just like a Speed Bleeder, but it costs less than half the price of one.
After an agonizing wait for a line to drain by gravity I remembered this kit was packed away somewhere.
I found it, put it on the nipple and tried it out by just doing half pushes on the brake lever, it worked a treat and the new fluid came through in a short time.
I do not know how much I paid for mine but eBay has lots of them, most say for use on bikes and sometimes bikes and cars. They all look the same but the prices vary a lot, are some better than others? I do not know frankly. The arrow on the valve is the direction the fluid should flow during the bleeding operation.
Here is one ad for a kit. CLICK
