Has anyone installed "speed bleeders"? http://www.speedbleeder.com/ I would like a really easy way to bleed my brakes especially since I have never done it before.

Yes I have installed speed bleeders and they make the job much easier. I got mine at Advance Auto for $10 a pair.

so does this mean, that if i buy this brake bleeder, i can bleed my brakes at home and that i dont need to take my stang to the shop ?

I really want to put my SS lines on up front, but the shop said they would charge me 175 to put them on and bleed the front brakes....can i do this at home with this????????

Well, changing the brake lines is a different story and is more involved than just simply bleeding the brakes.

$175 is kinda steep, you could probably do it yourself for the cost of brake fluid and speed bleeders, approx $40.

yeah i thought so, sounded like they were getting a little greedy.

So it is possible to change the lines myself with this bleeder?

i use them, they are awesome. i got mine from summit. mine were more cause i had to get 4 for the front(my front brakes have 2 bleeders per caliper. they really cut down the time bleeding. i would also recommend getting an autofiller for your master. i have a setup from MATCO that automatically refills the master with every pump.
