i just looked and the pro-valve bleeder looks to be the same size as the front brake bleeders. definately smaller than the rear bleeders...... hmmm.

so what did you end up with?

[2003bajatundra4x4ac]

still there as is. went to inspect a low rear tire and got out the soapy spray, took the rim off and got the compressor out. plugged in the compressor and the #%$^&*@#* valve stem is leaking! %$#&. how does that happen? it's the 4th one in like 4 years.......

Based on the above reference from speedbleeder.com, the 2003 and later 13WL calipers use the 7mm x 1.0 Russell Speed Bleeder, part #639570. The rear drums continue to use the 10mm x 1.0, part #639560.

thanks for digging the info up and closing out this thread.

I've read that the speed bleeders tend to wear out quickly and don't seal properly after several bleedings. Just what I've read from a couple other general forums, so I decided to go with the original.

I've had them on my race for for ~8 years now (8 bleeders in total) and bleed ~4 times per year. No problems with any of them sealing.
I wouldn't hesitate to put them on my other vehicles if I bled their brakes a lot.
