Has anyone used speed bleeders? Do you need to coat the threads with pipe dope? How do they work? Thx!

I assume you are talking about brake bleeders?I do not have any but I have seen them used.The ones we used worked but we were not confident in them so we ended up doing it the old fashion way beings there was two of us.

I have considered using them but always wondered if the road salt would be an issue in MN so I have never pulled the trigger myself. Sorry, I don't know anybody personally that has used them.

Mike, I have and use. No sealer needed. Just replace loosen and pump. They have check valve to prevent drawing air back into system. One at a time. Start rt.rear, left rear, rt front, left front . Easy, even I can do.
If I remember correctly, there is compound on threads??

Speed Bleeders....I have have them on truck and they work great... If worried about corrosion, get the stainless steel ones.. a little more money but worth it.. No thread sealant needed..
