Speed bleeders...wha?

[ParadiseXJ]

Geez never even realized there were 10-12 different bleeder sizes even sae and metric together.

Me too! I was amazed there were so many different sizes...and NAPA said "sorry that's all we got" there were several more slots they didn't have in stock.

And what SUX is that some of the aftermarket replacement wheel cylinders for the XJ are metric, not SAE (confirmed from Vatozone).

That's my problem, fronts are 3/8, rears are 10 mm. I've got the thread size down, but the length is an issue.

I'm just finishing the BJ and having my wife be my second (wo)man to bleed the brakes, old school style. I'll postpone the search. I wanna get this MJ on the road

If you still have the load sensing valve in the circuit, you should read this thread:

my speed bleeders didnt work after about a year because i did put the plastic caps on them and the rust and corrosion didnt allow the check valve to open.

that hapened to mine.
Take them out, soak them in some penetrating oil and use some compressed air to move the check valve.
Fixed mine right up.
