Why is there no bleed in my brake system?
A leaking bleed screw can be caused by corrosion on the tapered seat. The screw seat seals the caliper fluid chamber when tightened. Some bleed screw seats will corrode inside, especially in systems where the brake fluid was neglected for years. A corroded bleed screw seat will draw air into the system and prevent the system bleeding.
What should I do if I Bleed my brake line?
Use your clear hose and very clean container to catch the fluid coming out of the bleeder/hose. Once you start pouring, you can’t allow the fluid level in the cylinder to lower pass any of the port holes for the brake lines.

Where is the bleed screw in the brake caliper?
The bleed screw is located in brake caliper behind the wheel. It, therefore, resides in a challenging environment. It is disposed to heat from the braking process as well as dust and mud from the wheels. This harsh environment might cause the bleed screws to rust or corrode, making it difficult to remove them.
