Had to pull rear brakes to replace wheel bearings and axle seals on my Tacoma, so I'll need to get the brake system bled after everything goes back together, and I figure it's a good time to go ahead and replace all the brake fluid, since the current fluid's about 6 years old.
Well, I have a Mityvac, which is great. But, when I've used the Mityvac in the past on the truck, and with my motorcycles, I've found it to be necessary to do a final bleed "the old fashioned way", in order to get all the stubborn, remaining air out.
Well, I don't really have anyone to help me do that unless I called a friend to make a special trip over, and I really would rather just get it handled myself on my own time, and I've heard about these Speed Bleeders.
So, the question is, does anyone here have them installed on your vehicle? How do you like them? In your experience, do they do as good of a job as doing it the old fashioned way, with 2 people?
The truck is sitting in the garage on jacks right now and the axles are at the machine shop until Monday having new hub/bearing assemblies installed. And I'm not in a rush to get everything back together, so I have time to order some of these and put them on. I just figured I'd get some opinions on them from some folks who have them, before ordering them.
Thanks.
