Russell Speed Bleeders

[TroyaCantrell]

Has anyone used Russell Speed Bleeders? I need to replace the bleeders on my front drums and was looking at these?

I also cant find anywhere that it specifically states the size used on the 66. I think it is 1/4 x 28 but found where ones that size say they dont fit my year. I know that a lot of the online systems for finding parts are wrong so i am looking for confirmation on the size and if anyone has experience with these.

The fronts are a PITA to get to and i thought these would help the bleeding process.

I had a pair of them come with my Warn Full Floater axle kit years ago and recently was going to use them on my front calipers. The wrench hex flats were 5/16" instead of 3/8" that are on other brands, I thought they would slip and round off a lot easier since it is a soft metal. The bleeder nozzle was a lot shorter also making it harder to mount the bleeder hose on. Overall I just didn't like the design and never mounted them, I just threw them into the trash. Mine had a 3/8-24 thread on them I believe.

Thanks Torx, good feedback.

Haven't ever used them on a Jeep but they worked good on my Chevy C10.

Thanks, I ended up getting them because it was the only ones they had at the place I went.

They were a bit longer then the ones i had, at least the hex part was. I also used a one man bleeder setup in addition to the speed bleeders and bleed the system.

Still not on the road yet though.
