Replacing calipers with another bike's calipers

:EDIT: Duh   When you said speed bleeder i was thinking vacuum bleeder not the after market bleeder screws.

Which is pretty awesome because I meant vacuum bleeder and typed after-market bleeder screws by mistake.  

Went to Autozone, Advanced, and Sears- nobody carries vacuum bleeders.  Ed, we might just have to meet up.

You have to be joking. If they don't cary them something is wrong. I bought mine at NAPA.

Let me know.

And a big DUH to you.

As an FYI, there are multiple varieties of vacuum bleeder available at Harbor Freight for short money.

Thought about getting the HB special, but gave in and sprung for a Mityvac from Napa on my way to work. All I need now is time to use it...

Get some thick grease or petroleum jelly or somesuch -- remove the bleed screw, and sover the threads of said bleed screw with it -- not so much that it gets INTO the caliper, but enough to form something of a seal around the threads -- when cracked open (to all fluid to be pulled through) air can also sneck past the threads, giving you a stream of lil bubbles in the vacuum tube, leading you to think you havn't gotten all the air outa the system.

This'll have you running quarts of expensive brake fluid through the bike (if you're high), or just be a minor bother (if you're expecting it) .  . . .
