Remote bleeder problems
I just installled my remote bleeder along with new clutch assy and all new hydraulics. The remote bleeder will not seal off, I have a little fliud come out everytime I push in the cluctch pedal. I have taken the speed bleeder out and put back in with no luck. It looks like the speed bleeder wont screw in far enough to seal off. Has anyone seen this before?

Once I noticed a little drop of fluid just after flushing mine and taking it for a spin... I cleaned it up and re-torqued the bleed screw and it's never given issue since, even after repeat bleeds. I do keep a vaccum cap over it for looks and protection.

Im calling them tomorrow forsure. The problem is the part you screw the speedbleeder into. It looks like the very bottom thread or two is messed up not allowing it to be able to seal on the bottom. It screws in by hand really far then it just stops, even with wrenches it doesnt turn any futher. So now Im stuck, I can't take the line back off without dropping the drive train and I can't just cap because I can't bleed it. The only fix I can see is either cutting off the end and putting a new one on or make an adapter to screw into it where I can use a differnt bleeder setup. It just sucks paying that much for that little line and not have it work.
