I usually gravity bleed brakes anymore unless there’s a problem. It’s hard finding decent help…
I put grease on bleeders on new wheel cylinders and calipers (actually pull the whole bleeder, grease the threads and run it back in). Replacing bleeders is usually not a thing around here, but I try to at least keep the bleeders free until the caliper/wheel cylinder leaks/seizes. I don’t really mess around anymore, just throw all new parts on when there’s a problem, I’m tired of tearing things apart a month after I put things together to replace what I tried to cheap out on. Just not worth the hassle.
Grease on the bleeder screw is a good tip. Thanks. That may be why I couldn’t quite get it with my harbor freight squeezy vacuum tool thing.
