After finishing my trailing arm bushings and reinstalling the brake rotors and calipers I needed to bleed my brakes. I installed the speed bleeders I had purchased from summit months ago. Easiest brake bleeding job Ive ever done. One person and a few minutes is all that was needed and I had good pedal.

I love those things. I used them when I changed the front brakes and they worked like a champ. I am useually workin by myself so to find somethin like that that works so well was a real find. I need to get two more sets though. I think the back calipers have 2 bleeders each side.....

Just wounderin sice were on the subject, should you bleed them out of each bleeder or can you just do it out of one for the back?

Both bleeders on each rear caliper need to be bled. I bleed the passengers side inside bleeder, then the passengers side outside followed by Drivers side inside, and then drivers side outside. I put 2 speed bleeders on each rear caliper.
