RE: leaking brake bleeder screw

["Karl Chen" <karlcchen@domain.elided>]

Zamani,

Don't know about wilwood has the same bleeder screw as stock.
What prevent fluid leaking is not the thread on bleeder screw.
It is the end of screw with sloped contact area matched with
caliper inside slope area that stop bleeding.
Do not over tighten these screw which could damaged it.
Hopefully it is just screw side that's damaged
not caliper internal contact area.

BTW my brakes are so spongy now...I wonder why....

Oh yes, need help from the Gurus on the digest. My wilwoods are weeping
(very very slightly) brake fluid from the bleed screws. Should I use
teflon tape on the bleed screw or somekind of special sealant
compatible with brake fluid?

Thanks for any help!
