billybob Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 wow took off my drivers side wheel today only to find out looks like the last guy who owned the car broke off the bleeder on my front caliper. Now what got me thinking could this thing start leaking on me at any time for brake loss. As of now its dry what do you guys think leave it alone or buy a whole new caliper. please dont tell me to drill and retap tryed that once did not work for me.

It will not leak. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'd leave it as well. It's not going to leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonie77 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It's overtightened shut so (as everyone else said) leave it alone. When it's time to replace the calipers you'll feel good about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterset Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I want to mention to all that there should be a rubber cap on all the bleeder bolts. if there isn't water gets into the middle, & over time rusts & freezes the bleeder bolt.
