stripped bleeder thread
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2016 7:51 pm
Hi guys,
stripped the thread for the bleeder bolt in one of my front calipers today, thinking about solutions...
I've read helicoils probably aren't a great idea as they possibly wont seal the fluid correctly. Apparently the stock bleed bolts are m7, would it be possible to tap a larger thread in the caliper and fit an m8 bolt? Anybody know where I might be able to find a larger nipple that would fit the zxr calipers?
Many thanks
