Default Who has installed Speed Bleeders??
I just got a set of Speed Bleeders and am getting reading to install them. When I took the stock bleeder out there was a small o-ring on the end (the end that is inside the caliper). Does this go back in with the speed bleeder or do you keep it out? Was wondering if maybe the o-ring should have stayed inside the bleeder hole in the caliper.

No O ring needed on the reinstall of the Speed bleeders they have thread sealer on them. Harley service manual tells you to discard the o ring when replacing the factory bleeders.

+1 What he said.

Speed Bleeders are awesome! I just installed new bars and replaced my front brake lines. Speed bleeders worked great in bleeding the system.

Thanks guys, have read great things about these and need to flush my brake lines. This should make it a one man job this time around.

One warning if you do order from them, I placed the order and never got an email notification or anything. Thought at first maybe my order didn't go in. But in less than a week they showed up in the mail, so fast service.

Not complaining but just a heads up.
