I hear they rust sometimes or dirt can get in and clog the valve. Maybe that's what happened?

Mine were brand new when they sucked

Maybe it would be better just to do the ol' bottle and tube trick. Supposed to take a gatorade bottle, fill it 1/2 way with fluid, and run a hose from the bleeder to the bottom of the bottle. Press the brake and it squirts out fluid but sucks no air in since it's submerged in fluid.

literally? They are supposed to squirt, not suck

Got a msg from speedbleeder.com:

The size(s) that you need for your application is as follows:

Front....SB3824
Rear.....10" drum SB3824, 9" drum SB51624L


When you order Speed Bleeder consider ordering the "Bleeder / Bag Combo". It will make bleeding your brakes even easier. It consists of a 30 inch length of silicone tubing that is specifically sized to the Speed Bleeders and a bleeder bag that looks like an IV bag that is used in hospitals. Attach one end of the hose to the Speed Bleeder nipple and the other end to the bleeder bag. Open the Speed Bleeder 1/4 turn and proceed to bleed your caliper or wheel cylinder. The fluid will be contained in the bleeder bag and eliminates any unnecessary mess.
