Re: trouble bleeding brakes

A thread sealant isn't required and in any case it's risky in that it presents the possibility of introducing a foreign chemical substance into the brake fluid.

You can't reintroduce air back into the system if you close off the bleeder screw before allowing the brake pedal to return. So, standard old brake bleeder method - no special tools required - just a helper. Pump the pedal a few times and hold it against the toe board while your helper opens the bleeder, and closes it again before you release the brake pedal. Repeat until you get a solid uninterrupted stream of brake fluid. Do the wheel furthest from the MC first. Keep the MC adequately filled with fluid and check it often.
