I've heard the same about 5th gen swaps, doesn't seem worth it IMO.

What was your procedure using the Speed Bleeders? I definitely get the idea just want to make sure I have it right. I'm going to order some since I have some ATE fluid on the way.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between 4th and 5th gen when it comes to the seizing issue. Oh well. For what it's worth, I bought Centrix calipers from Rock Auto.


Regarding speed bleeders, what size bleeder valve do we need? I wonder if they are the same size between 4th and 5th gen.

I almost did a writeup - wish now that I had. I followed this post, which has directions from the FSM. The biggest thing is not to let the reservoir run dry and to watch for what is often a very subtle change in the color of the fluid in the tube coming off the bleeder. If your fluid is old, it will be obvious when the new stuff starts coming out but not so much if the current fluid is only mildly discolored.

Because of the corrosive & toxic nature of brake fluid, I strongly recommend 1) some kind of cover around the reservoir & over your fender to catch any drips/spills (puppy training mats are great, or rags, a sheet, etc.), & 2) a through-the-cap bottle with the tube secured. That way, less chance of a spill if it falls over. Beyond what’s shown in the linked pic, put a zip tie “collar” around the tube above & below the hole in the cap and slide them together so the tube is held in place.

Finally, I checked with two local places that take used motor oil & both said it was fine to pour the old fluid in with oil before taking it in for recycling.

@Montego Murph , the ordering info is available on the SpeedBleeders site. Their customer service was excellent btw.

I got tired of pumping the brakes and finally bought a Motive universal bleeder kit which just has a res cap and hose with chains to secure it. I setup an adapter to connect to my air compressor. After topping off the reservoir, installing the bleeder cap, I turnred the air compressor on and set it for 14#. The starting from the rears and working forward, opened one bleeder screw at a time. Watch the fluid flow until no bubbles remain. Oh so much easier.

You dont need the pump bottle, just the adapter kit. $27
