I just had to mention these in case there are any other people (idiots) like me that didn't know these existed:


A bleeder screw with a check-valve built in so it only takes one person to bleed brakes with the pedal! I can't believe I didn't know these existed! HOLY CRAP!

Hmmmmmmmm...................
pass, not worth it.

Have you heard of a reverse brake bleeder,Its more money up front but it will work on any with brakes.

Potatowalker

hehe thanks for your input- maybe not worth it in Jersey, but I live at 9000ft above sea level in the official coldest town in the country and my work space is a parking lot which is about 20degrees off level and under about 6" of hard-packed snow 6 months out of the year when it isn't storming. I also live by myself and none of my friends are into working on cars/jeeps so I'm pretty much on my own. Anything that saves me time, allows me to do things on my own and doesn't break the bank is worth it in my book, so it's all relative!

sooo, you're an abominable snowman? jk

Or you could buy a self bleeding kit for like $5

this sounds like a good excuse to find some new jeep buddies

HAHA not me, but it was -25F when I started the XJ this morning!!! BRRRRRRR!

Potatowalker

yea, I know. Most people around here are yuppieish and drive lame-*** bubble cars. My only friend with an XJ lives in NC and that's almost 2000mi from here. One day I'm gonna take the jeep and the dogger and roadtrip out there to race his *** on the beach. Not before I replace those pesky oil filter adapter o-rings though...

JeepingDan

Agreed.

At -25, I would need a remote start button, and a hot coffee.....

Potatowalker

-25F just means it's glove-wearin' weather. On the days when I wake up to see -40F air temp I admit I consider adding a remote start! I would be too paranoid that it would start and have a problem I couldn't hear from inside though. Once when I had a Subi, I started it at -50F and it was only firing 2 out of 4 cylinders and shaking around like a MF. Spewed all kinds of black stuff out the pipe for a minute before I shut it off. Thought to myself "wow, didn't expect that... at least it's trying!", gave it a few, then it was back on all 4 when I started it back up. I wasn't too happy with that car so I didn't really care, but I would hate to do that to my XJ!

I'm still gonna buy 'em when I get done with my exhaust project! hehe
