|
|
After painstakingly removing the original badly corroded bleeder valves, will install new valves to the rear calipers. The question here is it ok to use an anti seize compound on the valve threads without the compound adversely reacting with hydraulic fluid?
Thank you in advance |

light use of anti sieze should be fine, as long as its not mixing w/the fluid.
you should bleed it anyways, so im sure your ok
remember that wet torque is higher than dry.(although i cannot find the torque for that). _________________ .......... |

If the those calipers are more than 10 years old, might be wise to replace with rebuilts... along with soft hoses. I've had older calipers suddenly lock up... while on the road... with a bunch of camping gear in the back. Worked fine when I left the house.
Don't see where a dab of "copper paste", (anti-seize), would hurt.. as stated above, don't get it into hydraulic fluid.
