I agree, I watched TC do his brakes with this system and it was cake. Too bad I don't have any room for an air compressor :(

The "Power Bleeder" I linked isn't a vacuum bleeder. You use it to put positive pressure on the master cylinder. Then open a bleed screw, wait for nice clean fluid w/no air, close bleed screw... Lather, rinse, repeat until all 4 wheels are done. Hard to get much easier than that.

I'll just do it next time the fluid needs to be done and just buy extra fluid to get all the air out of the lines. I keep the system clean and bleed frequently so I just hate basically having to re-do the whole system like I sucked air in when I remove all the factory valves to put the speedbleeders in.

When we swapped them. Very little air got into the system.

Sorry, I thought that was one of the big vacuum style bleeders.

That's all I needed to know, thanks!
