Cobra caliper/bleeder screw issue

[Red99GTVert]

I just installed a Cobra bake kit on my GT (bullitt caliper kit from buyfordracing) and i'm having an issue with one of the bleeder screws. There seems to be a leak coming from the bleeder screw on the driver side caliper. I'm sure I didn't overtighten the bleeder or anything, yet there is a small leak coming from the bleeder area. I'd have to double check and see if it is coming from the threads or the bleeder nipple opening.

Can I get a new bleeder screw and see if that solves the problem? I'm thinking that the bleeder screw may not be sealing properly. I'm wondering if the bleeder threads may be hinky. The bleeder screws are made of a softer metal than the caliper, correct?

Any advice is appreciated.

Yes the screws are a softer metal than the calipers. You might want to try another screw or call the company you bought them from. If you put another bleeder in you might void the warranty. I would call and see what they say.

Wrap the screw with some teflon tape or install speed bleeders.
