^ I stand corrected. I thought it was only 04/05. Thanks for the insight.

 

I most certainly do not see a MC bleeder on my '06. Was it changed mid-year?

 

I don't necessarily disagree with you but, (apart from Replacing your MC where you can do a bench bleed before install), if you have air in your MC it still can be bled out at a Caliper, naturally if you bleed it enough.

Mazda have had Bleeders on MC over the years and then remove them with NO other internal/external changes..like the RX-8.

The Bleeder on the MC for RX-8's was removed by Mazda on the June 1st, 2005 Production.

 

if i order from russellperformance.com for the speedbleeder should i get the rear one for my clutch just like its reccomended to get the rear one from speedbleeder.com (my be a dumb ?)

 

These little suckers are amazing! I know they've been around forever but I just used them for the first time while helping WCS put on stainless lines. They really make brake bleeding an easy task!



Use SB on clutch? I was wondering that as well. It seems like a great idea.

 

I believe the one SpeedBleeder.com recommends for the clutch is slightly different than the rear ones (I think it's a longer one, can't remember). I'll tell you one thing though; the clutch bleeder is a PITA and then some to swap out.

 

I have read through this article several times and want to verify the SPEEDBLEEDER.COM part numbers for my application. I even called the lady at speedbleeders this morning and she didn't have the part number for the MC.

I have a 2005 gran touring automatic, bleeder on mc.
From what I have read I need the following:


1x SB7100S for the mc
2x SB8100 for the fronts
2x SB1010 for the rears

I believe the mc needs to be the short version but on the rear for my car I have seen 7100 and 1010. I think that the lady at speedbleeders said the part number changed. Anyway.... they still give 10% to RX-8 members.

Last question - I am going with SS lines and was wondering what the value of going with SS bleeders would be. I've heard that you shouldn't mix metals especially when a susbstance like brake fluid is involved???? This confuses me because the standard bleeders are probably steel and I am not sure of what the calipers are made of.... Also if the lines are ss that is a different metal going into the caliper??? I've probably made too much out of it but wanted some opinions and general understanding.

Are they the same part numbers for Series II cars? Just want to make sure before I order.

 

SpeedBleeders are the ****... Nuff said...

And Thunder... I have no idea... sorry buddy

 

Hey everyone. I just fixed my clutch today, and there was a problem. I use a speedbleeder, and when you bleed the clutch, close the bleeder value, push the clutch all the way in so it sticks, and then open the bleeder value. Pump like 20 times, then close the bleeder value. Then repeat the process until you get a good, solid clutch pedal. It worked for me.

The problem was that it was popping out of gear, and the clutch pedal wasn’t really firm.

Hope it helps.
