[Chevelle-list] Brake question
I am reassembling the calipers on my el camino. A few years ago I installed Speed Bleeders. Also installed stainless flex lines. Both had a coating on the threads. Is it a thread lock? or possibly a thread sealer? Or both? What can I use to re-coat the threads Thanx. -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino

Re: [Chevelle-list] Brake question
I think it is just a thread sealer. A thread locker would not be needed since bleeders seat with pressure, but speed bleeders need to seal when unscrewed a turn or few.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Brake question
I like to put a carefully applied thin coating of anti-seeze on the threads,being careful not to get it inside the brake system - Original Message - From: Rick Schaefer To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 8:35 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Brake question Thank you!
