Brakes: bleeder screw

[jbjr]

Need some advice. I changed the brake fluid in my 3R5 today all went well for the test drive. When I went to go out again the brakes were low after pumping the up they were good so I tried to bleed them again only to find out that my right front bleed screw would not tighten up. I thought that it might have stripped it out but it was fine. Any suggestions?

The taper/bevel on the screw or the tapered seat in the Wheel Cylinder must be damaged if the threads are good, but it will not close/seal. Clean out the W/C Seat and see if that is your problem.

What Rich said. Either there's something un-compressible that is preventing the bleeder from making clean 360-degree contact with the body of the W/C, or the bleeder itself is damaged. Bleeder screws are readily available from most FLAPS.
