BA JESUS forum members !!!!!!!!!................. 3 pages of engineering science , compression , friction ,load bearing forces blah blah ,on tightening up a bleed nipple

hope nobody posts up how to torq up a cylinder head ..............................

Whether you call it friction in conjunction with compression, as the tip of the nipple comes under compression, what force is being applied to the nipple in the thread?

It's an equal and opposite reaction.....IE compression, because the tip compression is trying to force the nipple out (which is plainly obvious when overtightened and the threads strip) therefore the thread is also under compression.....because the two compression forces are equal and opposite, the forces are working against each other, therefore it cannot come undone.

Stuff the lubricant............if there is brake fluid swimming around the thread, then it is almost certainly going to lead to corrosion........and when I do up the nipples on my brakes, I always run a tissue taper down into the holes when finished to soak out any excess fluid.....so I can check for leaks and avoid splashes on paintwork etc.
