Troubleshooting
Bleed screw leaks fluid around the threads.
Ensure the bleed screw is correctly threaded and not cross-threaded. Do not overtighten. If the threads on the caliper or screw appear damaged, replacement of the caliper or screw may be necessary.
Bleed screw does not seal properly.
Verify that you are using the correct size (M8 x 1.25 x 33mm) for your caliper. Check for debris on the caliper's bleed nipple seat and the screw's threads. Ensure the correct spanner size (9mm) is being used to avoid stripping the head.
Bleed screw is difficult to remove.
Apply a penetrating oil and allow it to soak in. Use a 9mm spanner and apply steady, firm pressure. If the screw head is damaged, consider using a screw extractor tool designed for stuck bolts.
