Your cart is empty.The Edelbrock/Russell Speed Bleeders are double-patented which replaces the original bleeder valve in your caliper/wheel cylinder with a spring-loaded one-way ball and check valve design. This unique design opens to allow the old fluid and air out and then closes automatically between pumps to prevent the old fluid and air from re-entering the line.

These are great and I have put them on several cars. I just wish they made them for more cars.

On a 2000 Sierra, ext cab, the rear caliper wrench required is a 10mm. When you replace them with the Russell self bleeder you will need an 11mm wrench. Other than that, they work slick. And if I ever want to purge the brake line this is the easiest way to do it.

This Part Number fit both my 1996 Tahoe 4WD Front Disc Brake Calipers and my 1979 Eldorado Calipers that are on the back.Russell doesn't list the Eldorado Calipers and the Part Number listed for my the Fronts was incorrect.It's a little curious that they're 10mm-1.5 threads, but the Wrench Size is 7/16" I guess that really is 11mm, though, isn't it?As always:YMMVUse at your own risk.Should only be installed by a Qualified Mechanic.Your Warranty is now Void.

these fit my front calipers on my 2004 GMC 2500 Yukon XL w Quadrasteer and work effortlessly bleeding, after a major brake line failure and full line replacement.Although the original bleeders were rusted and deteriorated, I was able to remove all 4, had to use visegrips on the front 2 to remove them, being so deteriorated the standard size wrench was to large, and the other was rounding off. I had sprayed pentatrating oil 2-3 times on original bleaders while removing/ reinstalling brake lines.Front and rear bleeders are the same for my 2500 w QuadrasteerDon't go by Amazon's website stating which vehicle they fit, do your homework by checking part numbers on another website I removed a rear bleeder and matched it up with the fronts. Website stated they were finer thread. - but i had to wait 5 days for another set to finish the job.

I'm an old hand at pulling wrenches, although I only do my own brake work, not commercially. Since the days when all four corners had drum brakes, I remember one of the most aggravating and dreaded tasks was bleeding the system. Not that it was that, hard, but good help was hard to come by, and it took two to do it right.This is so wonderful, I had to show them off to friends who are professional mechanics, who were unaware of them. This model (639580) is for the calipers on the front brakes, and this review was written for the Model no. 639520 Speed Bleeder for the rear drum brakes on the same vehicle. My enthusiasm applies to both products.I had to replace a wheel cylinder on my old Tahoe, (all my vehicles are old enough to vote), and after I got the new wheel cylinder in and the brake reassembled and adjusted, I removed the stock bleeder screw and replaced it with a speed bleeder (The Russell 639520 for the 11 inch GM drum brake of that vintage). I gently ran the bleeder in until it touched bottom with a deep well socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet, backed off 1/2 turn, and re-filled the reservoir on the master cylinder. Five pumps of the pedal later, I pulled the catch hose and jar off the bleeder screw, tightened it up, and topped off the reservoir, and was done!Just that quick. No waiting on someone to come help with it, no hollering back and forth ("push down, hold, (Huh, what's you say?) pump it again and hold", etc. )Frankly, I have a small herd of vehicles, all a couple decades old or older, and I am plumb excited about these.You are supposed to bleed the brake system every couple of years to eliminate old brake fluid and any moisture that may have worked its way into the system, and this will make that a breeze!!IMPORTANT:Let me note also, that I blasted out the open end of the bleeder screw with WD-40 after I had tightened it, before I put on the cap, because brake fluid attracts water, and water inevitably invites corrosion. That way the check valve will survive for the next time.It is a great time/labor saver and I have already recommended this product to others.

These did not fit my 2002 GMC Sierra 1500. They were to short and ran out of thread before bottoming out! Very unhappy customer here!

Poor product,Wasted time and money trying to find out how air was getting in my brake system, was fixed by removing the new Russell bleeders installing regular bleeders.I bought 6 of these bleeders total replacing the 2 new front bleeders with two more new bleeders.Only after putting regular bleeders on the car was I able to get air out of the system.Yes I do know how to bleed brakes, and how Russell says to use these bleeders.Waist at least $40 plus a lot of time not wanting to believe new bleeders weren't working.You can buy a cheap vacuum bleeder for that price and save your self a lot of trouble.

Very easy to swap these out and bleed the brake fluid. Before removing the factory bleeder screws I cleaned the area with brake cleaner spray, then removed the original screws and installed these speed bleeders. I first seated the bleeders slightly more than hand tight and the backed them open about half a turn. Bled a few bubbles out of the line by pumping the brake pedal and looked for new clean fluid to come through the clear tube I used. !Keep topping off the reservoir! Then tightened the screw, but not too tight based on another report, cleaned and dried the area again with spray cleaner and performed a leak check by applying moderate pressure to the pedal. No leaks, system works better than before. Each wheel takes about 20 minutes if you take your time.The 2000 Chevy Silverado uses different size speed bleeder screws for front and back. Check the Russell website for proper application.
