bleeder screw size

[i3igpete]

Does anyone have specs on bleeder screw thread and length? Not really finding much, and even searching for 2020-ish Z4 doesn't have any hits either, at least on the Russell website.

M10x1.0

sweet! I'll order an sb1010s and compare it to the OEM one. Hopefully the 2mm extra length is on the nipple side and won't cause it to bottom out prematurely.

Anyone know the torque specs on these?

9mm screw - (5-8 ft-lbs)
10mm screw- (9-11 ft-lbs)
11mm screw - (10-13 ft-lbs)


ours are 10mm and I torque mine to 10 ft-lbs

I found 6.3 ft/lbs somewhere and went with it. You think I should retorque them?

Found it in the service manual. Apparently it asks for 13 ft/bls

Gonna take off the wheels and torque to spec tomorrow.

found this thing, probably not going to bother with the speed bleeder idea anymore. depending on how much fluid comes out per pedal pump, might not need the power bleeder anymore either...

Let us know how that works!

works great, only downside was that the hose kept popping off the nipple and you need a skinny ziptie to secure it. works just like a traditional speedbleeder, and the first pump gets fluid about 1/2 of the way to the checkvalve so no chance of sucking air back in. there is a little drippage from the rubber seal on the inside of the nipple, but not more than a few drops.

You may want to use a powerbleeder anyway, purely so you can fill it and forget about it, rather than checking the reservoir every 10 pumps to make sure you don't get air in the line.
