Brembo bleed nipple striped thread repair
Many of the old Brembo calipers might have an issue with stripped threads on bleed screw points.
Some bleed screws, once corroded, will pull few top threads from Brembo brake calipers, so when a new bleed screw is fitted without tapping, the caliper will get cross threaded.
We at Pro-Calipers, can service Brembo brake threads with Timesert and this will still work with original Brembo bleed screws of a size M10 x 1.0, no need for different or bigger bleed screw.
We don't use helicoil, as helicoil is just a spring inserted into the bigger thread and the helicoil can easily get pulled when you overtighten the screw. This will never happen with Timeserting, as it's a full insert.
The Timesert locks itself on insertion and the threads on them are much stronger than the original caliper ones - we have never ever seen a pulled or damaged thread on timeserts.
Once we have had a full set of calipers from a Racing Porsche Cup Car, where a customer asked to Timesert all the 8x bleed screw points, as they knew it would be much easier to handle any future bleeding once all of it was done.
Please see belowe some of our recent work on Brembo caliper thread repairs.
