Trials-mad-Josh Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hey hey, so after bleeding a set of old maggies I noticed it's leaking from the bleed screw at the lever *cry*. Does this mean they're knackered or am I being stupid? I was trying to look for the "HEY IM A NOOB AND HAVE A QUESTION" sub-forum but couldn't see it. Thanks!

Not trying to be funny but cant you just tighten the screw? Unless the thread is knackered or the lever body is cracked then it shouldn't leak?

No sign of cracking or anything, I'm assuming the threads are f**ked but they look alright and they were fine before I bleed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Get some ptfe tape and wrap the threads in that, instant thread seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
