@anthonylee-fzs 4 года назад

I have had the need to use one of these a few years ago after the dreaded nipple shear 🤦..was ok ..one trick I also found regarding a suspected frozen nipple 😩 is to use a small snug fitting drill bit, inserting the smooth end, into the top end of the bleed nipple as far in as you can, a little clean out if needed.. apparently it helps avoid the nipple crushing into the hollow centre when pressure is applied 👍✌️

@joepie221 4 года назад

Hey Del. Nice piece of hardware and bleeding technique. I do have the question......What did you do about the broken off bleeder? Sorry if I missed that.

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Hey Joe.. In the few cases i've actually managed to successfully drill the bleed valve open a little and get an easy out tool in there to bight it, it was a fairly new bleeder and not badly corroded in... but if they are properly corroded in place, its near on impossible to drill out the hole for a thread repair insert, and even then the taper in the bottom will be compromised, So to be honest, if its sealed and not leaking.. i just leave it alone, and fit a Banjo bleeder. not ideal, and maybe not very professional, but in the face of a replacement caliper, maybe even an older bike you just cant get them for any more.. then its an effective last resort rescue. !

@joepie221 4 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 I completely overlooked the fact that if it breaks off, its still sealed. My bad. Thanks for reply Del. I always enjoy your videos.

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

@@joepie221 Thanks Joe, yeah, it ends up a case of damage limitation, i guess if you wanted to make a tidy job of it, then you could fill the hole with some Belzona, file it smooth, and repaint over the casting, but once again, Only if its totally sealed..

@stevenmarry6845 4 года назад

I didn't know these could be got..but emm, what happens to the broken valve in the caliper? there's a channel in it so it'll presumably leak, still has to be butchered out?

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

If a bleed valve has snapped off and refused to move, it snaps off in a closed position, so it won't leak, but if it does, that means it's not completely seized and you could quite probably get it out!

Hi Delby I love your content. While on the subject of brake calipers, will aluminium washers perform on par, worse, or better than copper washers? Pros and cons of them? Thank you

@Moonfleet41 3 года назад

I would use copper washers on brakes. It is true that soft aluminium washers seal things like oil drain plugs very well, but i have never seen them used in braking systems from the factory, so just go with copper to be sure.

@HienPham-hk9yj 3 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 Cheers thank you for the advice. I'll stick to the copper ones from now on

@sonickchri 8 месяцев назад

My bleeder valve broke off in half upon tightening it on the very last turn/rotation. I finished the brake job and it's the old caliper that I left on there. It's not leaking because the valve is closed (albeit broken in half). My question is, should i extract the valve and replace with a new one (assuming they sell them separately) or leave as-is and just replace the entire caliper the next time I service the brakes??

@Moonfleet41 8 месяцев назад

I've broken a bleed valve off in the past and because there's a hole in them, right down the centre, I was able to easily remove it with an 'easyout' and a little heat and I would do it now, rather than later on when you need them and it becomes an off the road job as if they really are jammed and you snap the easyout, you'll need a new caliper, but you've got plenty of time to get one at the moment.

@Moonfleet41 Год назад

If your existing bleed valve is leaking, then just replace it with a new one... even seal it if you have to with some plumbers tape... but yes, this product fits in to the banjo bolt hole and replaces it, then you just bleed out through the banjo bolt!

@csilva5855 4 года назад

Just saw your other video on how to bleed the front and rear brakes. I did this and everything worked out perfectly fine, except for one of the bleeder screws (rear brake) that will not seal properly (I noticed it after checking on it over night). You mention in the other video that it is very important that there is no dirt coming in between the screw and the "socket"/thread. How do I go about cleaning the bleeder screw/socket/thread without messing it all up and getting air into the system? Is this at all possible or do I have to just accept the fact and unscrew it all together and redoing/filling the system with new brake fluid after cleaning the screw/socket/thread? Great content and videos - Cheers from Sweden!!

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Hi there, if by screw/socket/thread you mean the hole that the bleed valve goes in, then don't overthink it mate, it won't mean you have to drain the whole system down or anything... if you have an airline just remove the bleed valve completely, blow out the hole with a cloth covering it to catch any fluid spry, then put the bleed valve back in, and just bleed that brake up again... not much will come out if you don't move the lever, and it'll soon bleed up... take a close look at the seat inside and the end of the bleed valve itself, see if it's corroded, or maybe just replace with a new one to be sure... good luck!

@csilva5855 4 года назад

Delboy's Garage -- Hello and thank you for the quick and very comprehensive answer! My inquiry was exactly how you interpreted it. I will do as you suggest and hopefully it will seal completely after cleaning/checking it. I have never done maintenance myself on the bike since it still had warranty (hence always done it at the dealer) but now that the warranty is no longer I prefer to do what I can myself. I was just unsure if when unscrewing the bleed valve completely and taking it out to clean/check it the fluid would rush out/be sucked in creating a mess/air issue. Once again thank you for the very comprehensive explanation and keep up the great work!!

@csilva5855 4 года назад

Short udate - I checked and cleaned the bleed valve and the hole it goes in to. All looked brand new and clean. I put it back together and still a leak... I will get a new bleed valve (the leak is right in the joint where it meets the caliper). IF after exchanging the bleed valve the same problem continues - could it be that the caliper itself has been damaged, cracked, by tightening the bleed valve too hard during earlier services maybe? I have a slight recollection that you mention this can be the case in one of your videos...? The rear brake is the same one as on a BMW F800 GS (www.rubbersideup.com/2014-bmw-f800gs-f800-brembo-rear-brake-caliper-34-21-7-717-627).

@Ujustwaite 3 года назад

So at the risk of sounding like an idiot, this would install at the entry point for the brake line into the caliper with a banjo fitting that seals against the face of the caliper with the crush washers? I have a 75 Commando Mk3 with the hard line at the fork. There are something like 4 segments to the Mk3 brake system, so I've removed most of them for flex line already. Wouldn't kill me to put a new piece in. Both of my bleed screws are seized and one snapped off at some point. Would rather just leave them in place. Really would like to change for a modern caliper, but most of the kits to do so are for pre 75 Commandos. Ugh. Thanks in advance!

@Moonfleet41 3 года назад

Yes, it's a great solution to an old caliper with seized up bleed valves... you can keep it original and still have it safe and working!

Don't sweat it buddy, they'll come undone just fine on a 2012 bike, you could take the step of soaking in some penetrating oil, but if they physically look clean and uncorroded, then that's what they'll be, and they should come undone easily... it's when they look nasty and rusted and all cruddy, that's when you're likely to snap them off because they'll be weak.
