[Healeys] Lubricating brake bleeder nipples

[John Spaur]

It does not work with a vacuum system. Air still leaks in.

 

Thanks,

John

Yes, I concur. It will not contaminate the hydraulic fluid and it is compatible with the rubber parts.I use it-but sparingly. Hank

What do people think about putting red brake grease on the threads of the bleeder nipples to stop them from leaking air while using a vacuum pump to bleed the brakes?
