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. |

I hope the aluminum caliper isn't stripped. I had bought some speedbleeders but went out to the shop to look at them and of course they are "put up" I guess.

I hope the aluminum caliper isn't stripped. I am working from home today and I am miffed.... I recall comparing threaded length on the removed factory bleeder versus this and it being the same. The bleeder took force to remove, it was fully seated and you can see space between the hex portion of the screw and the caliper body..... http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/7422/p5021280.mp4 |
