no, sometimes (but rarely) fine pitch sizes are used,

mmm could cause a problem then. I'm looking at buying a banjo bolt with a bleed nipple built in, I know its m10, but can't find out the thread size

I've got one, but i dont want to go taking it out, because then i'llbe goosed for using it for a while, as the bleed nipple has snapped, So if i take it off i'll need to bleed it right?

I went to change the brake fluid, when i went to undo the bleed nipple, the head just sheered off (i had used tons of wd40) but to no avail. It however is still closed so no problem there. I was advised to get one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...rksid=p3907.m29

It goes on where the brake hose goes into the caliper and replaces the standard union bolt, allowing the bleed nipple. Is that a bit clearer?

Yes that is clearer now youve told the full story, it seems a good idea if it works, so why not buy it then, if youre worried about wasting £7 (being Scottish) :lol: then get the thread gauge first that i posted and measure the existing banjo bolt

Lol, well if truth be told. I am pretty tight, But considering the amount i've spend on the bike, i'd have been aswell buying a new one! Just posted a problem about the gears aswell. i think i'll be hitting the roof shortly! lol

I may be wrong here but dosn't the brake lines go into the bottom of the caliper??

If it does you will not be able to bleed the air out as it is at the top of the caliper.

Take it off and turn it upside down.........
