Best investment I ever made for car maintenance

[basstracker89]

Glad I drive older vehicles. I've almost always done my brakes.

I wish i'd bought battery ratchets years before I did.

For you do it yourselfers, Russell Speed Bleeders. You'll thank me. Replaces the standard bleeder screw, and there's a check valve inside. Loosen it half a turn, and just pump the air out. You don't have to risk a divorce by getting the wife to pump the brakes for you.

I won't do a brake job on a car without them now.

You guys, done my own brakes for 45 years without the gizmos. Best one is a piston pusher

Piston pusher. I need to check that out. I’ve always wrestled with one of these

The best money I ever spent was on this thing. Attach to your brake reservoir, pump it up some and then bleed or even flush the whole system with a little catch can that slips over the bleeder screw. Quick, clean and easy and a one person job. You can buy adapters for different vehicles.

I think my brake spoon is still in my oldest tool box. Adjusted many a brake with that back in the 50's.

These are the most common tools used. The tools in the red case are for calipers that screw in; typically found in rear disc brake calipers.
