iv got a set of 4 pots that after a year of waiting iv finally fitted them. only problem is that when i bleed them the nipple leaks from the back when you undo it.

if you get someone to pump the pedal as you open it it starts leaking as soon as its loose enough to allow fluid through. its not that im doing it wrong because its my day job, so just wondered if any one else has had this problem?

as tempted to put the white plummer tape stuff on the tread to seal it, dunno if it would work?

i'll ring them monday if i can but any ideas on here so i can sort it tonight and save a phone call?

The nipple's probably blocked, whip it out and clean it out with some wire.
Get someone to put their finger over the port so you don't lose too much fluid.

I'm not sure what temperatures PTFE tape can handle, I would get back to Minisport, is the nipple a good fit in the hole
