What's the issue with bottoming out the brake pedal with standard bleeders and not speed bleeders? If you're not letting off the pedal before the bleeder is closed youre not bringing any air into the system?

NOt 100% sure with this car, but traditionally if you bottom out the brake pedal, you'll ruin the seals in the brake master cylinder. Bad news all around

from my research, it looks like this causes the MC piston to travel past where it normally operates, causing it to run along areas in the cylinder that have corrosion and rougher edges, which damages the seals on the piston. with a newer car with low mileage, especially track cars that are constantly flushing brake fluid, hopefully our MC's don't have much if any build up or corrosion.

Hey Decay, any update on this? Did you try the SS ones?
Am ordering the SS ones and was wondering if it makes sense to buy a inch-lb torque wrench as well to get the torque right (71 in-lb) or just hand tighten them. Your experience concerns me.... thanks. Quote:

I used a cheap torque wrench to do mine, but know a lot of people who successfully do it without one. Just DO NOT overtighten, you'll break off the bleeder valve in the caliper. |

Can someone help. I did this diy for the lines, front rotors, and front/rear pads. Now when I go over 15mph the stability control and abs light come on in the dash. Planning on taking it to the dealership if no one has had it happen to them. Thanks

When the car is up on stands, do the wheels freely rotate? If you had a stuck caliper that might explain it.
Either that or you messed up the wheels speed sensors. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk |

DIY - Stainless Steel Lines - Speed Bleeders - Fluid Bleed/Flush
Wheels rotated freely. Wheel speed sensor sounds most likely.

My use of the Speed-bleeder
I just bought ONE and put it on each caliper as I bled it. Then replaced it with the OEM and went on to the next one & so on....
I just don't trust that part for track use, BUT IT IS GREAT TO USE & REMOVE one each wheel as you go around the car. It really makes flushing system a one man job... |

Thank you for this wonderful write up!! I used it this weekend when doing basically the exact same thing you did.
I really wish I had paid more attention To reiterate some advice already given in this thread: DO NOT SKIMP ON THE FLARE NUT WRENCH You WILL round/strip the flare nut using a typical open-end combination wrench. I made this mistake thinking I could get away with it (car only has 5k miles, couldn't possibly be that stuck already) and I was excited to get the lines in. I ended up having to buy a pair of vice grips to get it loose (and bought the flare nut wrenches at the same time). Once I had the flare nut wrenches, I made easy work of the other three wheels. I learned my lesson though (yet again) that the right tools for the job make all the difference in the world. |

Did this for pads, lines, and a fluid flush.
I got a Motive Power bleeder in place of the second person. I've never done brakes in my life and this made it 100 times easier following this. Thanks for helping me save money with this DIY! |
