brake bleeder question

I purchased some brake bleeders, russell brand. The backs work perfect but the front are too short. I looked in the russell catalog and they list both the front and backs as the same. Earls list differant part numbers. I went through summit catalog by size and found the 06 corvette bleeder part number 639560 to be the correct length. I have them here in front of me now and the appear to be the same lenth as the stockers. Im gonna put them in today.

This WKND I tred the Russell 639630 comparable to Speed Bleeders suggested shorter SB1010S and they were indeed to short and leaked all the way tight.

They could have used a few more threads.

I then tried Russell 639560 comparable to Speed Bleeders longer SB1010
And they fit great on my C5 brakes.

By the way my OEM bleeders came out the same size front and rear.

Russell bleeders are awesome!
