Stripped Bleed Screw Thread Repair: Shimano Hydraulic Shifter.

There is nothing worse than tightening a bleed screw and feeling the threads give way. On these Shimano shifters, the threads are often plastic, making them very easy to strip.

Before you throw the shifter in the bin or shell out £200+ for a replacement, watch this video!

I will show you how to perform a permanent repair using a threaded brass insert. This doesn't just fix the problem; it arguably makes the shifter better than new because you are upgrading from soft plastic threads to durable brass.
