I read an article on speedbleeders(I dont remember what article or even where I read it ) and it stated that speedbleeders could inject
air into the brake system itself or the abs module. Now Im not a mech but just reporting what I read. I used the gravity feed method and to be honest it didnt take very long but to each his own. Maybe someone with exp can let us know if they inject air in.

jdsr, Impossible to comment on this unless the article you read is available for review. I might have passed on writing speculation and would have found the context of the article.

Any process can introduce air into a hydraulic brake sytem if improperly attempted.

Mike;

Had new Michelins mounted on the rig this morning and had the installers check the slide pins on my W-20. Happy to report that they are lubed up and ready to go (and stop). This thread is about speed bleeders but since tires and slide pins are cousins, I thought I would make the report.

Oemy......the caliper was sent to Speed Bleeders in Illinois!

Bob

Well if everyone did that you wouldnt have many posts. As I said I wasnt sure and ASKED if anyone with exp with this speedbleeders knew they could comment. I swear sometimes.... BTW I edited for a spelling if that was ok.

jdsr, if you were concerned to the point where it mattered I think that you would have wanted to call Speedbleeders direct: Toll Free Number: 888 879 7016.

I Googled your request and came up with nothing .... now if you could find the article you read we could certainly discuss that.

jdsr, if you are asking general experience, I had them on my prev MH/P30 chassis and they worked great, one person job to bleed the brakes. I hope they get them for the WH soon, otherwise it will be a gravity job with a helper

Im not going to waste my time and get in a back and forth with you. I guess you have plenty of time now, I dont. Also what rule did I break by asking for something to be clearified by someone with exp. Nevermind dont answer that, I dont need your answer. Like I said before, when you come to my posts, SKIP THEM.
