Hi there,
I had to replace a OEM Brembo brake caliper (blue color) on my F22 M235xi because of a corroded/broken bleeding nipple.
Not sure what happened, when I tried to screw in the hose into the new caliper, it started to tighten up ONLY after 2-3 turns. So, I used the 14mm spanner to tighten it because there were still a lot of visible threads.
When all was done, it started leaking only after 2 days. When I tried to unscrew it, I noticed the threads were pretty much messed up and it cannot hold the hose any more.
QUESTION:
How far do you tighten that hose to the caliper? I do not see any advice and instruction from the BMW technical service manual giving any instructions on that.
Do you hand-tighten it and stop even though there are a lot of visible threads?
How far do you go? I don’t want to mess up another caliper.
I have ordered another caliper and I will be working on it this weekend.
