I just bought some speed bleeders for
my 84 RS. The only problem is the new
speed bleeder screw doesn't fit where
the old screw came out (it feels like
the threads are different). When I
try to screw this in, it starts to go
in at an angle.

It's the 7mm size so it should be the
correct size.

I'd force this screw in but I don't want to
strip the threads. Has anyone else
experienced this?

Thanks,

Joe, I really didn't have a issue installing some Russel quick bleeder on my GSL-SE last month. Fine thread can be tricky, and should go in straight.

It is great to be able to bleed my brakes solo, without having to use a vacuum bottle. ITs faster and works better than have to find another person to do it.
