Speedbleeders with ABSI question
« on: September 03, 2015, 01:43:21 PM »
I just put speedbleeders on my 91 K100LT front wheel caliper and ABS unit.  Everything went fine as far as bleeding goes.  I did notice that the OEM bleeder screw on the ABS unit is different than what I call a standard bleeder screw. There is an o-ring to the right of the threads and between the threads and the o-ring is what appears to be a relief cut for fluid flow.  Please take a look at the image below.  Does anyone know if the speedbleeder is an ok substitute for this and that my ABS will still function as intended?

Bump, as I'm planning on doing the same.

On the speedbleeders site, it lists a different part number for them, but with the same dimensions, for what that's worth.

Bought it to save from being parted out, hoping to sell it onto someone who's looking for it specifically.

I bought 2 SB1010's and 2 SB1010S's when I did mine.  The s at the end just stands for short.  If memory serves me correctly the short ones go in the wheel calipers.
