how the hell do you use them??

I would have appreciated a demo.

It sads me that KZfaq only allows for like and dislike options because I truly LOVE your videos Delboy. Keep em coming Sir

I have had the need to use one of these a few years ago after the dreaded nipple shear 🤦..was ok ..one trick I also found regarding a suspected frozen nipple 😩 is to use a small snug fitting drill bit, inserting the smooth end, into the top end of the bleed nipple as far in as you can, a little clean out if needed.. apparently it helps avoid the nipple crushing into the hollow centre when pressure is applied 👍✌️

Man you saved me a fortune. I didn’t know they existed. Life saver man. Thank you. Keep up the great work and videos.

The other step I do after pushing the pistons back in is undo the calliper and position the valve upper most so the air bleeds to the top and let gravity do the work.

I have encountered those before. Never had to use one ....yet.....but nice to know they are out there. Regards to you both.

Great replacement part wonderful

Hey Del.... AWESOME tip, sir !! "Thank you" for sharing your knowledge ....

Your delivery is spot on!....

Another excellent informative video. Fortunately not of mine were seized when I recently stripped my 1986 gsxr calipers for painting and rebuilding.

Handy tip as always. But let’s get back on the bussa build fella, keen to see where this is going.... 👍

quite clever...

Used them for years, However they are designed for the master cylinder, Usually at the highest point of the brake circuit to let air/fluid out.

Spot on mate, have a great weekend, 👍👍🏍️

AWESOME video, Thanks for sharing this with us, Bless 😇

Thank you, just saved me so much trouble.

Thanks for the tip, i have an old 80's 600 sports bike that's an import and getting a new calliper is hard so this will keep it going so i don't have to rush finding a replacement

I don't get how these work. How does the brake line attach? Or does this replace another banjo bolt on the caliper? How about a diagram showing it in use?

Top tip 👍🏻 Look forward to the next vid 😀

DELBOYS HELLO! WISH TO SAY THAT WHAT YOU ARE TURNIING THE HAYABUSA FROM A BLACK SWAN (IN MY EYES MY THINK),TO A BEATIFUL STUD WAR HORSE!!!! IT LOOKS SO GOOD AND SEEM THAT THE BIKE SHOULD BE BUILT THAT WAY... THE WHOLE WORK IS PURE MASTER PIECE,LOVELY AND HAPPY!! REGARDS. YHANK YOU AND GOOD BYE,SHALOM.

You should have told me about this a couple weeks ago Del. I got my broken valve out OK but took a chunk out of the taper at the bottom of valve seat 😕 so had to get a second hand replacement caliper. Got all the system rebuild now and bleed. Seems to be all a ok. Test ride next.

Hey Del. Nice piece of hardware and bleeding technique. I do have the question......What did you do about the broken off bleeder? Sorry if I missed that.

very interesting, gotta check those out, thank you sir for another sweet vid

i liked this just because of the accent

Great tip from across the pond

i needed that in 2012 ....bugger !! i had to buy a new caliper doh !! top tip brother thanks again ! 👍🏻☮❤

Brilliant!

Nice get out of jail trick Del. Penny and you have a great weekend and stay dry and warm mate. Cheers

Thanks, that'll solve a lot of folk's problems.

I have no idea what you are showing us to do. I'll watch again but after watching the first time I learned there is a bleeder valve you screw in somewhere. That is it. Where how do you do it.

Hi found this video for that problem would have been good to show how they go on

Was hoping for a hands on diy lol

This works for a car too? Or is there something fundamentally different between bike calipers and car ones (or the plumbing)?

WOW great idea, never to old learn new ideas

Can not wait for the next vlog...

Brilliant! I will add to my kit, and hopefully not need them LOL. Thanks

Another great tip - thanks for sharing Del! :0)

Patiently explained as always 👍 ., I've seen these's kits 🤔 .

This is perfect! Thank you so much!

My bleeding valve theeaded today, cant get a new one for 2 weeks any short cuts to keepnme going until then

nice little idea to get out of a tricky situation, I thought you might of pulled out the lathe and shown us how to make one.

I didn't know these could be got..but emm, what happens to the broken valve in the caliper? there's a channel in it so it'll presumably leak, still has to be butchered out?

My bleeder valve broke off in half upon tightening it on the very last turn/rotation. I finished the brake job and it's the old caliper that I left on there. It's not leaking because the valve is closed (albeit broken in half). My question is, should i extract the valve and replace with a new one (assuming they sell them separately) or leave as-is and just replace the entire caliper the next time I service the brakes??

Aha, linked brakes . . . dueling banjos? (Fx: A lone pistol shot echoing through the greenwood, cheering squirrels etc. : ) x

would be nice for a demo video, I have no idea where to put that, is it to be installed where the bleeder valve is? or it will replace the existing banjo bolt? if its going to replace the existing banjo bolt, what to use to plug the leaking bleeder valve, I don't see a matching plug bolt/screw on the product link, I need this right now, kindly assist, thanks.

Good tip, never heard of those.

Hi Delby I love your content. While on the subject of brake calipers, will aluminium washers perform on par, worse, or better than copper washers? Pros and cons of them? Thank you

Great Tip.. Thanks

works for autos? & how do i know which will thread into mine?

Can i use a bleeder banjo bolt on a car? I cant seem to find what size i would need. The website listed is for bikes only.

Bad Obsession Motorsports fixed a clutch slave with one of these and the first thing I thought was damn. I can fix my Honda Ascott brakes now.

I have just machined the two front callipers of my sons Yamaha rd 350 and fitted two of your bleed nipple inserts. My question is why is there a small O ring inside the nipple. Thank you. Regards Colin Vaughan.

Probably being a bit thick but where does this screw into? I have the snapped off bleed nipple on a very expensive and no longer available AMG caliper. Mike

Good tip🤪

bleeding good video, del.

Neat! Didn't know.

Did I imagine Del ,that the Triumph had a brass front mudguard ?

How do I fix a stripped bleed screw. Help me please🥲

Good video mate , bring on the sportster

I have a GMC ENVOY with a snapped bleeder. The Banjo bolt seems to be about the same size but I’m unsure if it is the big enough.

Yes yes i have same problem 🙂

Great video del Cheers

Did you give a tip how to prevent it in the first place-anti-seize

Well they look in good nick, I imagine a smooth flush , I did manage a 3 hole oil change......2nd derby cover I came across that needed the cover screws hammer impacted off........monkeys! Dare I say gorillas,lol

3:02 you nip it off ? = this means to physically cutting something off (in american) idk about listening to brits i`m telling you

Hello Del ! Tanks’s for charing these useful tips . May i ask you if you made à video on the chain tensioner for a Triumph T300? I want to do it by myself, but i just bought these bike and y don’t no these brand enough. Thank ´ again

My nipple on the oberon slave clutch Kawasaki Clutch Slave Cylinder CLU-2775 Is giving huge problems it’s gone rounded Can’t get a spanner on it advice please

So do I plug the broken bleeder screw?

Just saw your other video on how to bleed the front and rear brakes. I did this and everything worked out perfectly fine, except for one of the bleeder screws (rear brake) that will not seal properly (I noticed it after checking on it over night). You mention in the other video that it is very important that there is no dirt coming in between the screw and the "socket"/thread. How do I go about cleaning the bleeder screw/socket/thread without messing it all up and getting air into the system? Is this at all possible or do I have to just accept the fact and unscrew it all together and redoing/filling the system with new brake fluid after cleaning the screw/socket/thread? Great content and videos - Cheers from Sweden!!

I'm not looking forward to doing my brakes.

So at the risk of sounding like an idiot, this would install at the entry point for the brake line into the caliper with a banjo fitting that seals against the face of the caliper with the crush washers? I have a 75 Commando Mk3 with the hard line at the fork. There are something like 4 segments to the Mk3 brake system, so I've removed most of them for flex line already. Wouldn't kill me to put a new piece in. Both of my bleed screws are seized and one snapped off at some point. Would rather just leave them in place. Really would like to change for a modern caliper, but most of the kits to do so are for pre 75 Commandos. Ugh. Thanks in advance!

How come you don't have an air compressor setup in your new shop?

What can i use to seal the bleeder screw that loosethread so i can use that 1

Wait how do you close off the bleeder valve if you're not using it then?

Would this work if my brembo has barely any thread

But my issue here is my bike which is benelli uses brake banjo union and i have ripped the bleeder screw in half its stuck in the banjo how do i remove it and where can i buy the same size bleeder. And also how to know which size would fit 1 mm or 1.25 one Thank you.

Hi Del, just found you by accident and binge watched you and subscribed 👍. Live in Germany, do you still collect number plates, and have you got one from Germany?

will this work on 4x4 systems

how do you use them though

Neat! Where can you get them?

oh how I pray to almighty god I don't have to do this when I try and flush my 2012 switch back....soaking the bleed screws with a pb blaster or wd-40 the night before.....??

Sorry Del, you lost me there. Is this after you drill out the old bleed valve?

So pity it is English with technical terms. Mostly I learn from your videos. That's better

Did not really show the part in use. Could have made a diagram for Dummies. Too much of you, not enough actual detail in use.

You still got your tiger ? Are you to ashamed to show a service on that
