Stan;
Thanks. I noted that when I replaced the four bleeder screws with new
SpeedBleeder screws,
the new screws had some sort of sealant pre-applied to the threads. I
realize those aren't brake
pipe joints but they're still a part of the braking system and are also
threaded.... so I thought
I'd check before reassembling the pipes to the PDWA.
Again, thanks!
Cheers!
Dave
