Had a speedbleeder die today running around during my lunch break at work.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Drove home with the ebrake. I am now kind of sketched about them after this. |

The pattern on the contact seat of the bleeder is there for all but 60 degreees of the seating surface.
There was a good 3-4mm between the hex and caliper body..... Makes me wonder if my calipers are not within spec and causing the leak. I recall the old bleeder screws were this long. I am going to pull the other rear to inspect it. I need to find the old bleeder screws to compare, going back 1 month in my garage is an eternity. |
