I'd like to get Speed Bleeders for my 2000 Legacy GT Wagon but their website http://www.speedbleeder.com/ lists part #s for Subes 'till '97 only. http://www.speedbleeder.com/automobile_applications.htm#Sterling

I emailed them a while back about bleeders for my 2000 but they haven't a clue. Duh!:-\

Does anyone here know which ones (for both front and rear brakes) would fit my Subie?

http://www.speedbleeder.com/size.htm

I would venture to guess they'd use the SB7100.

 

What size wrench do the current bleeders use? 8mm or 10mm?

I got the Russell speed bleeders from summitracing.com for my '96 and '00 and they were different sizes. Darn if I can remember which year took what size. I know for the '00 I removed a bleeder, measured the threads, and ordered by size because the application chart didn't list '00.

 

edit: ok I checked my order history and it was 7MM X 1.0, Russell 639570

The other was 10mm x 1.0 Thread Russell 639560

 

Hm....now way was it... I'm pretty sure the '00 was the 7MM x 1.0 But if you have the GT you might have different calipers than my '00obw.

I haven't yet bled my Subes brakes myself(it's been done at a shop, before; I've got back issues so don't do as much under my car as I'd like) so I don't yet know if the bleeders take an 8mm or 10mm wrench.

I checked on-line at a Subaru parts place and it seems that Sube Legacies from '97-'01 use the same front calipers, while rear ones were the same from '90-'99 with '00-04 using different ones. It's essentially the same with OBWs.

I think #SB7100 Speedbleeders would work for my front brakes and SB1010 probably for the rear, but I'll look into it further.
