About a few days after my Brembos went on, I noticed that my front passenger caliper paint was flaking. Upon closer inspection, I noticed brake fluid was leaking out. I initially though it was the bleeder valve not tightened enough, so I tightened it up a bit. Next day, it was still leaking...
By the time I got it to Adrian's (boxer4) place a day or two later, it looked like this:
We took off the bleeder valve, gave it a good clean and sand, but still not cigar. So, we had a look in the thread hole and it didn't look good...
After thinking about what could be done, a few text messages to cruisn, and even having the thought of buying another caliper crossing my mind which would have set me back a few hundred, Adrian told me to take it to Burt Bros in Fairfield and see if they can fix it. http://www.burtbrosautomotive.com.au/
I've got to say, I'm really glad he told me to do that! Burt Bros fixed it up for $80!!! From that I understand, they drilled out the hole and put in a new bleeder seat and valve kit. After a couple weeks of braking test, it's working perfectly fine.
Here's the finished product:
Hope this helps someone and Thanks again Adrian, you saved me a few hundred bro :drinks:
