== Bleeding brakes ==<br />
<br />
<br />
*[http://www.speedbleeder.com Speedbleeder] are brake caliper bleeder screws with spring loaded one-way ball valve. They replace the stock bleeder screws. By loosening the Speedbleeder, you can bleed the brake by merely pumping the brake pedal (and adding lfuid to the brake fluid reservoir occasionally). The one-way valve prevents the fluid from receeding in the line on the brake pedal's up stroke, thus preventing air from being drawn into the line.<br>There ''have'' been reports that, because the ball valve seals so well, the gap in the screw's threads is the "weakest link" and ''may'' allow air to seep into the line while bleeding.<br>The MkV GTI takes the SB1010 or SB1010S'es. The SB1010S are stainless steel. The stock bleeder screws are M10x1.0 thread, both front and rear.<br />
