Bleed nipples
I'm having trouble with my brakes, basically brake fluid is seeping from around the bleed nipple thread and tightening up makes little to no difference. Has anyone else experienced this before ?
Thanks, TC An analogue brain in a digital World |

Bleed nipples
Wrong bleed nipple, or some dirt/rust preventing the nipple from sealing against the caliper.
The nipple seals on the conical part at the tip, if there is any contamination there it might cause the problem you're having. My advice: make sure it's not the caliper first, then get yourself new nipples.. old ones have a nasty habit of breaking. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |

Get yourself all the 4 nipples and replace them all, will need to bleed the brakes two. ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Bleed nipples]](http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z2/patatusy/littleavatargreyandblackhachi.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - Bleed nipples"){kind=avatar}
