Monkey Boy 1 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Does anyone know what the thread rate is for Gen 6 brake caliper bleed nipple threads. Need to clean out the threads on a spare set of calipers that I have. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophytr5 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 No, but there is an old trick for cleaning threads. Take a spare bolt (or nipple in your case). With a hacksaw (or Dremel if you have one), cut a slot to the bottom of the thread. Run this down the thread. Acts like a plug tap, but without the cutting action. Of course, use with care, as you don't want it breaking off in the caliper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
