Clutch bleeding device 1150

[ELIMINATOR]

Managed to remove the grub screw without any problems

Didn't bother buying a bleed nipple. Just used the cover from a ballpoint pen, (the ones that are open so that little kiddies don't choke when they swallow them) Worked a treat Fluid was clean, so it seemed a waste of time, but I refilled master cylinder twice, and pumped that through.

Ferkin sprung loaded ball bearing won't seal (I've read that this part can be removed & a nipple put in its place

But as I was lucky enough to get the grubscrew out................ how often does the thread snap off when trying to remove this part?

I've made temporary repair with PTFE tape, but would like to make a permanent rectification.

So who has successfully removed this part......................& who has had problems. How much is it?

Binning it, and relacing it with a bleed nipple would seem to be both the cheaper & better option then.
