RE: Brake bleeders leaking
 

Well i tightened it nice and tight and it still seeps a bit. I just put some teflon on the front right and tightened the rear a bit more ill go check it in a couple hrs to see if it seeps again.

Wrap it counter clockwise and don't overwrap more than 1/2 the thread. Let a little form a collar at the top of the bleed screw.

Feels like the rear can keep tightening. I put some on the front right and seems good so far no leaks.

Seems like all who have had this issue has been on the right front. If you're not getting a bite on the rear caliper you may have stripped threads.

Yea it is the right front lol. i put some teflon on the rear and tightened it. Ill see how it feels tomorrow.

Alright well put a bit of teflon tape around the front and rear and no problems so far. ill check again once i get home and take it for a ride and see if they feel good

yea just keep an eye on it...

i used it on my tahoe awhile back because i had a leak in the ss lines...it ate up the tape really fast, i just put LOTS on then cranked her down, didn't leak for years after that...

i also used it around a fitting for my fuel pressure gauge...then cranked her down FAST...dude...gasoline was hungry for that tape! hahahaha...never leaked but i've always kept an eye on it.

yea def will. if it leaks i need new bleeders?

RE: Brake bleeders leaking
 

I think it's the threads on the calipers actually. I found my problem when I was installing speed bleeders. The bleeders seemed tight.

But how could it be i only loosened em up to bleed em then tightened em up and they leaked
