Your local auto parts store(s) should have self bleeding kits for around $15. You'll need to bleed one wheel at a time in this order;
rear passenger tire, then rear driver's side, front passenger, then finally the front driver's side.
How many times are you getting this done per year? There may be a bigger problem you'll need to take care of first before buying a bleeder kit.

Russell Speed Bleeders make things a WHOLE lot easier.

viper98885: By the way, I think you have the wrong part numbers (at least for a '96) on ammp.

The front calipers are, at least on a '96, (checked both stock, and reman unit from autozone, and the factory parts manual) were 10mm X 1.5 Which would make the fronts 639580.

Haven't delt with the rears.

Follow this link and check out Russell's application page. That is what I use for the part numbers. Also, I used these part numbers when I ordered them for my car and they worked fine.

Not two many. Just i have more then one car i do brakes on and other stuff. Plus my car has a caliper problem that was causeing the brake problem. But the dealers where being a holes. And wouldnt fix it. So they keep saying it was air in the lines and the brake bleeding started adding up. Plus iam planing on getting new rotors and better calipers. So i wanted a kit to bleed them. Thanks for the help!

Sorry to disrupt the thread again.

viper98885: I tried putting the 639560s into the stock calipers on my 1996 camaro convertible's front calipers, and they did not fit. I tried putting them into reman units from autozone, they did not fit. They were the right width, just the wrong thread pitch. I looked them up in a pdf parts file, and it said 10X1.5 for 94-97 front calipers. I took a screen shot, it's a little blurry because of the compression. I can make a bigger one if needed.

There must be more than one version of the front calipers out there.
