Re: Installing Speed Bleeders

Also, you may want to remove the factory sealant... depending on what brand you get.

I used Russell bleeders and the sealant was so damn hard it flaked off and got in the bleed port and made my calipers leak.

I fixed it by running them through a thread die and then putting some fresh thread sealer on there. The thread sealer is not for sealing the brake pressure in, it's only for keeping air from being drawn in while bleeding. Note that the oem bleed valves don't need thread sealer.
