This was an extremely helpful video on how to repair an unserviceable caliper bleeder valve.

[@RonnieW8479]

Thank you so much ,,,,now I know what to do ....thank you.....

[@rimshotbladely7946]

When doing this, do you have to go up a size when making new threads? Or should the drill and new threads be the same size as the original threads??

[@frentech-braking]

Hi, for this to work properly you need to increase the size.

[@frentech-braking]

Hi, please email us at [e-mail] and we can advise where you can get this done.

Are mild steel nipples better because of their softness and springiness than stainless in alluminium callipers?

[@crazypayz9362]

Hi what size is the new thread insert ? 👍🏻

[@forhadchoudhury2291]

Do you do this service?

[@allenrusselljr]

Whats your ebay store link?

[@markoverton5858]

Best use next thread size up, it will be less Likly to snip off 👍

[@scobaru9676]

I'm repairing the same caliper, I just bought the kit, what size drill bit do I need? what 3 taps do I also need to do the repair?

[@allenrusselljr]

He lists it in another comment reply. i only remember the drill bit was 9.9mm. if you look through every comment with a reply you'll find the tap size. Good luck with the repair

[@charlesdhskxv7072]

I need this done to my rl caliper 4 piston can I ship to you. Please

[@calebvernon3305]

What thread size was the original tap for the original hole??

[@frentech-braking]

Hi, the original hole was M10x1mm, the new inserts are either 7/16 unf or M11x1mm, our eBay store has many sizes available.

[@simeonmitkov5445]

nice repair. Did you tested it for leaks afterwards

[@frentech-braking]

Yep, we hooked it up to our test rig and it was completely sealed.

[@drt4789]

How can the bleed nipper leak? That thing has only been tampered maybe with twice?

[@frentech-braking]

Hi, do you mean the original or our repair kit?

[@drt4789]

@@frentech-braking The original. It is just beyond me that this bleeder nipper leaks given that it hasn’t been used too much.

[@ossiclesrecordingstudio3307]

​@@drt4789mostly because of corrosion

Can we similarly fix other end where thread for banjo bolt is worn out..

[@markoverton5858]

Used the wrong thread lock a high temp type is needed for break callipers, lock tight 365 green colour type

I have a caliper that needs this done. The valve snapped and tried to extract it but that made it worse now the only option would be to buy new caliper or do this process. When drilling out the remain valve and installing the new thread do I have to worry about the metal bits falling inside the caliper ? Would it harm the caliper from the inside ?

[@frentech-braking]

You must ensure that any debris from the drilling is cleared out of the port. The best way of doing this would with an airline but it can also be washed out.

[@carlwood5501]

Hi guys, What size drill and tap are required to carry out this repair?

[@frentech-braking]

Hi, we used a 7 / 16 x 20 UNF tap set and a 9.9mm drill bit.

[@glennsprague8535]

3 different taps? Why not drill the hole the right size the first time?

[@frentech-braking]

The taps are all the same thread but they have different tapers. This is the proper way to tap new threads.
