Dave,
I got a set of Speed Bleeders for my brakes. They are amazing! I have never
bled brakes before, so I don't have a reference, but I have heard a lot of
horror stories. Once installed (30 mins) it took me no more than 30 more mins
to bleed the system by myself.
There is a link to their site with all the size info on 311s.org in the wiki
section under general brake info. I was told that the bleeders will also fit
the master, but I did not try it. They ship out of IL if I remember correctly,
so they got here pretty quick, I am in WI. Just watch out doing the front
brakes, you have to remove the ball that is under the stock bleeder in order
for the new ones to fit. I magnetized a screw driver to reach the ball.
I also replaced the fluid and front pads and have great pedal response now! I
have not put on the brace yet, but I am thinking about it now after this email
chain.
Dan
