Getting ready to install Russell Brake Speedbleeders on this thing ( has a check valve pressed in the bleeder that allows one person to do conventional bleeding)
The Russell catalog lists part numbers for the second gen that returns a couple of 7 mm diameter bleeders of different lengths.
Unfortunately or not, the replacement wheel cylinders I have in hand, which I imagine match the OE, require 10 mm diameter, and the bleeders are nearly 40 mm long, for reasons I can't see because I'm away from my truck.
Question; would anyone please Measure their front caliper brake bleeder diameter, at the threaded section, and at least the protruding length, so I could get my order straightened out.
I guess I don't care what diameter the rears are OE, since I'm replacing mine, but if you're ambitious enough to measure that also, perhaps someone will appreciate down the road.
I presume their metric, but if anyone wants to check that, I will most definitely be your buddy.
As we stand
FRONT BLEEDER ; ? mm dia X ? length x ? pitch
REAR BLEEDER ; 10 mm dia x x 1.0mm pitch x ~38mm OAL
I'll update with my or yours info.
