I go my offending wheel rear break cylinder off. Should I use some type of anti-seize on the bleeder screw and the brake line when I reassemble them? One small step for man, one big step for me. Ric

I don't think this is a life or death decision, but I wouldn't use the compound in this case, since I wouldn't want the anti-seize to contaminate the brake fluif, nor is the bleeder screw likely to s

While I agree that contamination of the fluid is a concern, in this case (rear brake cylinders on a TR3) the threads are not exposed to the working fluid. So with care, you can put a little anti-seiz

nor is the bleeder screw likely to seize in the first place. I'm worried about the bleeder screw seizing. Breaking the screw, and too much work at the office, kept the 3B off the road last year. I w

Here is a suggestion. Permatex has a paste Teflon sealant that is designed for such purposes. I used Teflon tape the last time I had my brakes apart. If you have the time and inclination, you can lea

nor is the bleeder screw likely to seize in the first place. In my experience, the rarity is the bleeder screw that ISN'T a bugger to get out without destruction. If you have clearence, a 3/8 butterf

A word of caution- never use Teflon tape on a brake line! (If you get a special brake line fitting with factory paste, then that may be different. Never tape however) I have been warned about this by

For those without a butterfly impact wrench, you can also avoid the side load by using a 'T-handle' socket wrench, usually with an extension to get room to swing it. By using two hands, one on each a
