Subject:calliper bleed screws
From:Andrew Gies
Date:Wed, 28 Jul 2004 12:08:39 -0500

Has anyone had experience with the front calliper bleeder screws breaking
off when it came time to bleed the front brakes?

Any tips on getting these things loose without breaking them?  One of my
rear bleed screws snapped off this weekend - but I was replacing the
cylinders anyway.

I just want to bleed the brakes - not replace the callipers...!

I have an '86 BTW.
