Looking at my front 11" twin shoe brakes, the tip of the Speedbleeder gets really close to the steering arm on the bottom of the swivel housing.
You have this too?
Or did you move your top to bottom hardline to be able to use the angled fitting in the lower wheel cylinder for the bleeder?
Seems like that would work better, but that would be one tight bend for the hardline to clear the steering arm...
Curious to hear what you did...
Many thanks

We just replace the old one. Need a thin wrench to make easier to open and close
