One Man Brake Bleeder
 
Any of you guys use a one man brake bleeder? I've bought cheap ones in the past that flat out didn't work. I'd like to get something that works and works well! I need to change out my brake fluid, stuff looks like Coke.

I had also through about speed bleeders so if anyone has used those I'd be curious how those work out as well.

Thanks in advance!

LJ,
Lots of people on the Vette forum say A+ to the speed bleeders. (and trust me are these guys anal)
So I would go for it.
Are you doing a fluid drain and replacement?
If not, then you dont need to bleed... let me know and I can give you the 411
If so, then yeah speed bleed or there is one that uses what looks to be a plastic sprayer or vacuum jug too

When i replaced all my brake hoses with Crown Performance stainless steel brake lines, i used this to bleed the brakes. Easy to use and one man job. If you have a tech 2, you can also do an automatic bleed for the abs accumulator.

I've looked at those Mityvacs.

I don't need to technically bleed the system of air, I want to replace the fluid because it is extremely black.

I thought about buying Russell Speed Bleeders and some tubing to make it a one man job instead of using pressure/vacuum kits. Then I read the H2's already have one way bleeder screws...can anyone confirm this? I don't want to blow the money on the speed bleeders if we already have them!

When I did mine I used a one man system. It was nothing fancy. I sucked out the old fluid from the reservoir, put new in. Then drained each line until fresh fluid came out. I don't recall the name of the tool, just remember it was easy, one man, and did the job.
