Speed bleeders for 231 TBU

[fblainen11]

I've ordered two different sets from Amazon now and this is the second set that does not fit. Grrrrrr!!!!

Someone please post a link to the correct speed bleeders!

Thanks in advance!

Which ones did you buy? The SB1010 is what I have on my Tundra calipers.

SB1010 - just buy them direct from Speed Bleeders.

I bought the Russell brand. 639560
It is 10mm x 1.0 which appears to be the same as what you posted.
They look identical in the photo.

That's a exact same size as Speed Bleeder, and should fit. You can see both my part number, and yours are referenced on Tundra forums as the ones to us. What year did your calipers come from?

You would be better off with a pressure bleeder. The threads leak on the speed bleeders and can allow air back into the caliper.

Anyone that's ever put a hand vacuum pump on a bleeder nipple knows exactly what I'm talking about.

I figured out the problem. I bought remanned calipers from AutoZone. The part number is the same for all of the 13WL calipers. HOWEVER, AutoZone's computer shows a 7mm x 1 thread for their in house speed bleeders. The guy behind the counter pulled C9950 (their part number) from the shelf. Sure enough, AutoZone's remanned have helicoils in the threads and they use a smaller speed bleeder. I found this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000CPCOB6/ref=psdcmw_15722911_t1_B000CPCOAM

On Amazon with the same thread pitch. Gonna order these and cross my fingers. I'll report back.

I got my 13wl calipers from Napa. One had the small metric bleeder. The other had a SAE sized repair insert installed in it. Autozone had an assortment pack of regular bleeders that I bought to figure it out with. Anybody need a pile of random sized bleeders?

I just went through the same thing - I ordered the Russell 639560 based on the application chart, however I actually needed the 639570, I confirmed that these work on my powerstop 13WL callipers (I had ordered the 570's at the same time for my MR2 but ended up using them on the 4Runner).

You can put some pipe dope or thread sealer on them, it's a pain because they're small, but doable.
