I need to bleed the brakes on my car. I have used the old pump the brake system in the past. What new fangled equipment is out there and what works the best???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

I've got both the Speed-bleeders at the calipers and use a powerbleeder on the MC. I don't think you need both. If you have the speed-bleeder nipples, the system has to be at least 15- or 16 psi to get fluid out of the speed-bleeders. Having both is a little redundant. You can either put on the speed-bleeders, crack open the valve, then get in and pump the pedal; or put on the power bleeder, pump it up to 8 or 9 psi, and go around letting fluid out at each bleed nipple. Having both is no advantage, as I have to pump up the MC anyway, and visit each nipple anyway, and if the pressure drops below about 15 psi, I'll get no fluid at the speed-bleeder. I think I would prefer to use the pressure bleeder with just regular bleeder nips, but if the p-bleeder leaks, go the speed-bleed route (oh, that sounds creepy).
