I am so upset right now. Last night I noticed, when I was painting my calipers, that I had a slight leak from my braided lines. So I got new washers and put them on and was going to bleed the lines when I found that my bleeder screws were real tight. I tried everything to get them out and ended up shearing them off flush with the calipers. I didn't have a tap or anything to pull it out so I took it to the Firestone place across the street from work because I knew the dealership would hassle me wicked hardcore. Well I called a lil while ago about the status and they told me that they had the smallest tap they had, biggest they could go in it, and it was in the farthest it would go and the screws would not budge and they didnt want to split my calipers. So now I need to get 2 new calipers and get the lines "flushed" and with labor, taxes, and what not its $519. All because my bleeder screws had to sieze. The tech said in the backround on the phone that he's never had a bolt that was sp stuck before in his life. WTF? end of RANT

 

That sucks.

 

Luckily theyre overnighting them in and gave me a 400$ credit no interest for 6mnths on it. So I don't need to drain my account a few weeks before I get paid.

 

OUCH!! What don't you drill it out and tap it?

 

I have had bad luck last 2 things I have done have cost me a **** ton so I took it to have them do it and they can't get the stub to budge at all.

 

Did you tighten the bleeder screws last? If not I woult take it to the last place that did and make them fix it.

 

did you use the special like a flare nut wrench to loosen screws, because if you used a regualar wrench it will strip your bleader screw.

 

Do it yourself. brakes are easy. Then when it is all fixed you wont feel like a total retard because you broke it.
