Hi Guys
Heres the scenario. Overhauled front brake caliper 77 cb550. new seal in piston chamber, totally renewed master cylinder with rebuild kit, new braided lines, new pads so in other words completely new brake system. I had a stripped bleed nipple thread so got a kit to fit helicoil insert which i did. Problem I have is that the system wont bleed and i cant get any pressure. I have noticed that the fluid is still coming out of the bleed nipple when it is closed so I think what is happening is that the nipple is not seating properly in its housing so I have probably gone too far when i drilled the thread out. Any comments appreciated. I have a spare caliper with a bleed nipple housing that looks ok but the brake line fitting thread is stripped. Is it possible to put a helicoil in this fitting and if so what size is it? Am I on the right track regarding the seeping brake fluid?
