Speed Bleeders – Brakes?

[Gene]

Hey Eric, next time you do a brake video (er, rather IF you do another) could you add some speed bleeders and show how to properly turn a two person job into a one person job? Is this a cost effective upgrade for the DIY’er?

Seems like I remember reading other forums where frequent brake bleeds are one of the standard things when racing? Did you consider adding them to the Fairmont?

Just a suggestion.

I haven’t considered them for the Fairmont. Remember it’s a street car, not a race car. I will go fast, but I won’t be pushing the car like I would if it’s a race car.

That said, I have already shot a video on how to bleed brakes yourself without using speed bleeders. I’m not sure when it will air however as I have a lot of videos in the cue right now.

Thanks for the suggestion.
