I have been bleeding brakes for many years, why should I use Speed-Bleed?
Numerous brake bleeding methods and tools have been used to varying degrees of
success. The Speedi-Bleed pressure bleeder just provides a faster, easier method that
produces a more effective brake bleeding solution with fewer hassles.
What is the difference between Pro and DIY Speedi-Bleed kits?
The differences are in a few components of the pressure bottle and inclusion of plastic tool case with all pro kits. Both kits include pressure regulator/gauge, CNC machined adapter(s), and quick release coupling.
see Pro vs DIY Bleeder for more information
Will Speedi-Bleed work with all vehicles?
Almost, the 10 adapters will fit aprox 99% of all 1967 & up domestic and import vehicles.

Technical
Will Speedi-Bleed work with ABS brakes?
Yes! The vast majority of vehicles with ABS can be pressure bled without any additional procedures or scan tool required, provided no air has entered the ABS system. If air has entered the ABS side of the brake system (typically from ABS modulator or master cylinder removal, or the fluid reservoir running empty), a scan tool could be required to fully purge the ABS circuits.
A workaround method can work. First bleed conventional brake circuit as usual, next activate ABS system during test drive by locking up the wheel(s), and then re-bleed the brake system. Repeated applications of bleed, drive, bleed, might be required to obtain desired results.
Only perform this procedure at slowest speed possible. A secluded location, such as back road or
vacant parking lot should be used. Wet or loose surface, such as dirt or gravel would be optimal.
Will Speedi-Bleed create cavitations and add more air bubbles?
No, Speedi-Bleed effectively removes air bubbles, it does not add more. The manual "two person" brake bleeding method poses a higher risk of creating cavitations and air bubbles, especially if the brake pedal is operated in an overly vigorous manner.
Why use the tire pressure and not other air source
The tire provides a safe, large volume of clean air that can be quickly and easily regulated
using the inline Speedi-Bleed pressure regulator. Unlike an air compressor, the tire does
not necessitate a water filter / separator, or concern over too high pressure. Hand pump
operated pressure bleeders can need re-pumping to build back the pressure drop during
the bleeding process. Speedi-Bleed provides a constant air source, setting the working
pressure once to 15-20 psi will be enough to complete the bleed procedure.
Note: A complete 4 wheel brake bleed will typically result in only 1-3 psi tire pressure loss.
How much air pressure should I use to bleed the brakes?
10-15 psi will work well for most vehicles. Higher working pressures of 25-30 psi will provide faster
fluid flow from the bleed screws, especially at the rear wheels. Always start from 0 psi and slowly
increase working pressure with inline regulator, while stopping periodically to check for any leaks.
Note: Certain ABS systems can require higher working pressures, example early Kelsey Hayes used
on GM vehicles can require 30-32 psi in order to effectively bleed.
