Brembo Bleed Nipple Thread (MY 2000 R1100S)
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:21 pm
During the recent service at RGM Roy was unable to change the brake fluid on the RH caliper as the BMW Filling Valve (in place of a standard bleed nipple) had failed. Unfortunately he didn't have a spare so I figured it'd be a quick job to change.
After a call with Steve at Southport a bleed nipple arrived today but once I started to remove the BMW fill valve it was clear that the Bleed nipple supplied was not the correct thread. I reckon the once supplied was a 7mm thread (a 7mm AF spanner would go over it)?
So what is the thread on the Brembo caliper M8 x 1.25? Anyone know for definite so that I can get one ordered.
