I use never seize on about everything that doesn't require lock tight. Including bleeder screws
That's the problem with those new fangled hydraulic brake systems!Shoes and cables! That's how brakes should be!!!
Hurry up Chuck . we're slip sliding into an olio thread
Lots of different opinions, who would have thought? What I take from this is, it’s a crap shoot. If you f*** it up, maybe you can in f@“k it, maybe lube will work, but don’t hold your breath.
I had a similar problem with an F08 Brembo with dual 6mm bleeders on my 850T. After one bleeder broke off and I failed to get it out by drilling and using two different styles of EZ outs, I gave up and bought a newer style single 8 mm bleeder F08 from MG Cycle.When Maynard heard me tell my story of failure, he informed me that he had carefully drilled these out. tapped, and installed an 8mm bleeder in place of the original 6mm. Would you have enough material on this caliper to try and make that modification as a last alternative should the threads on your current attempt be inadequate?

Might wanna throw some anti seize on the threads of the “new” ones. Or better yet, stainless Speed Bleeders?
Brake fluid is a poor assembly lube. I wouldn't worry about using it though. Most Brembo callipers don't even use dust seals.Phil
Thanks, Phil. It's probably my misconception that the dust seal was involved in retracting the piston when pressure is relieved? Old wife's tale?
