[quote=”tbonedude89″ post=104933]The HF ones do work in a pinch (like you’ve experienced), but they usually break down/degrade much faster than other name brands. Glad you were able to fix it![/quote]
Yeah, the reviews don’t look great that’s for sure. But for $24, I don’t mind if it never works again! LOL

[quote=”tbonedude89″ post=104930]Did you buy a mityvac bleeder or that cheaper HF model?[/quote]
I went with the HF model. They only had one mityvac left at my store, and it looked like it had been opened. I had a 20% coupon, so I got the HF model for $24 including tax and a 24 pack of AAA batteries for FREE!

CASE CLOSED!
I picked up the HF brake bleeder and went to town with it! Bled the front brakes, and then decided to just go ahead and bleed the rear brakes too as it was simple enough with this tool.
Well guess what! The pedal feels perfect, it has never felt this good (well that i can remember) and I’ve owned this RX since new!
Thank you everyone for the help!

I believe they still sell Speed Bleeders, however I’ve heard they have a failure rate of nearly 50%.
I’ll try putting a bit of grease around the threads of the bleeder if I have issues with air seeping in.

The one you posted a link to can leak and cause air to get into the system (as can a loose bleeder screw).[/quote]
Ok, will get that one! Thanks!
Speaking of bleeder screws. When I loosen mine, there seems to be a lot of room around the threads for air to possibly go in maybe it just seems that way because there’s no rust since they are new compared to the old. But, would you recommend I put grease around the outside threads of the bleeder screw to stop any possible air intrusion?

I didn’t replace the pads as they are still fairly new, only about 10k miles on them. I caught the dragging caliper early enough that no damage was done to the pads or rotors.
I’m planning on buying this tomorrow: http://www.harborfreight.com/brake-bleeder-and-vacuum-pump-kit-69328.html
Hopefully that will help bleed the brakes properly, and I will have a nice firm pedal! Will you posted!
