Default Brake Bleeding Tool - Cheap

I had to bleed the brakes on another car the other day and I remembered I had purchased a little gizmo made for the job but I had never used it.
I dug it out and it worked great, it is like a Speed Bleeder, half the cost and you only need one as you move it from wheel to wheel as you bleed the brakes.
I heartily recommend it, they are on eBay at various prices, the cheapest I have found was around $6.
Here is another. CLICK
There are more like it shown on the site.

Familiar with this motorcycle brake bleeding tool. Essentially a check valve to prevent backflow of air into system when pumping the brake pedal. SLICK!!

When bleeding the brakes keep the end of the tube you attach to the bleed nipple submerged in brake fluid in a container. It will prevent air from flowing back into the caliper.

Remember we are talking about this little tool being a one way valve, any air getting into the system will come from around the bleed valve threads, if so you have the valve open too much. You can stop any air leaks with grease if you still have air bleeding past the valve thread.

Heavy grease around the bleed screw is a good tip! I have speed bleeders on all my cars and have felt that some air can get back into the caliper as the one way valves may not always be functioning perfectly. Keeping the bleed screw wrapped in heavy grease and the tube end submerged should prevent air getting back into the system. Thanks for the tip.
