Newbie Q: Speed Bleeders for a '64 F100

[rtcapo]

I'm working on my first classic...a '64 F100. I'm a rookie mechanic, yes...but willing to learn.

After checking the brakes we (a friend working with me, he's restored a few vehicles) found out the previous owner rebuilt the brakes and master cylinder looks new. The lines look original...they're still caked with Georgia clay.

Trying to bleed the brakes, we found out the bleeders were stripped...useless.

Researching I found the threads for speed bleeders.

I've been looking and am not sure which will fit. Mac's Auto has bleeders that one fits both front and back...not speed bleeders.

Any hints or links for speed bleeders that will explain some of this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

If I understand you correctly, your bleeders are stripped and you can not get them out. Buy new wheel cylinders. if you can get them out. take them to Advance/AZ/O'Reilys etc and they have the speed bleeders. Just have to find the ones that match. Read this;
