Re: [T3] Anyone Have A??


<x-charset iso-8859-1>A few tips getting bleed nipples (screws) out.

1)  Use a hexagonal socket or ring rather than a 12-point ring to save
chewing the corners, with quite a short ratchet (or hold it near the ratchet
head).

2)  Clean the area around the screw with a brass brush to clean the
corrosion off.

3)  Apply a little easing fluid (make sure it doesn't get drawn inside as
you remove the screw).

4)  Tighten the screw a fraction first (only the slightest movement) to
break the seal/corrosion.

5) Then try it the right way and hope.

6)  If it seems very resistant, try a little more easing fluid and give it a
few hours to work.
