Fork fluid bleeder screw stripped
Hey guys, another new guy. Seems every post if from someone new ;-)
Ive been rebuilding my bike for a few weeks now. It ran great when i got it, so really just cleaning and doing maintence stuff. The Fluid in the front forks was the nastiest fluid ive ever seen. So i drained the Right side no problem, and i went to drain the left, and my allen wrench stripped out the bleeder screw in the fork.
Im brand new to bikes, but while working on this one sometimes i just ask myself why someone would use the fasteners they did.....just use a bolt for everything!
ANyway how do I get it out?
And also, ive been trying to bleed the front brakes for a few days now. I loosen the bleeder, squeeze the handbrake, nothing. Tighten the screw let it up. Loosen screw press the handbrake....nothing...maybe a tiny tiny bit.
Why isent my fluid pouring out? Do i need to adjust my handbrake to create more pressure in the line maybe?
