I found that the SB1010S/639630 fitted everything except for the PBR 328mm rear caliper, which takes a longer version of the SB1010S/639630 (ie SB1010 - without the S at the end). The Russel number for a SB1010 is 639560.

I love speed bleeders. They are a brake nipple with a small internal valve that allows fluid to flow out but nothing to flow back in again. This makes bleeding brakes a one person task - loosen the nipple, go and pump the brake pedal and then tighten the speed bleeder nipple.

I have not been able to find speed bleeders in Australia so I get them from the US via mail order. The standard Falcon calipers and Brembo calipers all take a SB1010S, which is also sold by Russell Industries as 639630. I keep some of these as spares at home. However, it turns out that the rear PBR calipers on the Tornado ute use a longer nipple, the SB1010 (sold by Russell Industries as 639560). I don’t keep spares of these, so had to wait until an order from the US arrived before I could fit the speed bleeders to the calipers and flush the fluid.

On the left is the SB1010S/639630. In the middle is the standard nipple from the rear PBR caliper. On the right is the SB1010/639560.
