I seldom have a problem bleeding my brakes, thanks to my trusty Mityvac (and I know some people think they're a waste of money; you can do it just as easy with syringe, whatever, but what swayed it for me is: the professionals use them), bur came across a new prob the other day~: sheared the bloody bleed nipple off (the brake master cylinder one). This was undoing it too, so I can't say I was doing it up too tight.

Now that'll have to wait until I can get louigi to have a go at drilling it out for me. Or it might be as cheap/easy to fit a second-hand m/cylinder.

Thanks to louigi who painstakingly drilled it out for me. All OK now.

OK, when I look in my reservoir, I only see one nut, and it looks like the only think it does is hold the reservior on. Is that the one you bleed?? Doesn't look like it goes anywhere?? Got pictures?

Galaxy, that is the nut you use to bleed the front brake. Really simple and easy system, that!
