Speed Bleeders

Has anyone used those speed bleeder screws that replace the stock bleed screws on the wheel cylinder/caliper brakes? I'm looking to bleed my brakes, solo.

Never used them, but they make a small hand pump to pump the fluid in starting at the wheel. You can do that by yourself.

They are the best $10 I've ever put into my truck. No question about it. I haven't done the back yet, but it took me longer to put the bleeders in then it did to bleed the calipers. The one thing to keep in mind though is to pump the brakes very slowly when bleeding.

I've used Russel Speed Bleeders. They work great and I'd use them again.
