possibly over tightened a rear bleed nipple - mobile mouse - 16-07-14
Hi,
I may have overtightened one of the rear bleed nipples by 1/4 turn.
Have I damaged the bleed screw or damaged the thread in the caliper, not sure which.
It is an original bleed screw.
It doesn't leak but I am kicking myself for turning it too much.
cheers,

You could always turn it back a 1/4 turn and stop kicking yourself before you start bleeding

6nm is the torque for rear bleed nipple
I trust you have what is an essential tool... Torque wrench...for any bike maintenance DIY !!!

check for cracks on the body of the calliper along the side of the nipple (where the metal is thinnest)
