clutch speedbleede

[RPG]

I ordered a speedbleeder nipple for the clutch bleed on my '04 RT but it won't thread in. I ordered p/n SB1010S per the chart on their website. Can anyone else confirm if this is correct. Speedbleeder has been non-responsive so far.

 

thanks,

RPG;

 

Got the top of the forum and click on "M/C FAQ". You find a section totally devoted to the clutch bleed and the problem with threading in a speed bleeder. You need to file/grind off the point to get it started.

thanks Cris, so I do have the right thread size then?

Can't verify the part number, but you want 10mm X 1.0 bleeder.

SB1010S = M10 X 1.0

What I used was a regular bleed screw from some sort of automobile as others said it is M10x1 mm threads. I couldn’t get it to work without removing that black plastic dongle on the end of the bleed hose then screwing the bleed screw directly into the end of the hose. Seemed to work good once I screwed it directly into the hose end. Didn’t work at all when screwed into that dongle on the end of the hose.

thanks guys, I'll get to working it a bit on my grinder.
