    Anyone know what diameter repair kit to get for brembo bleeders? I have the b7 rs4 calipers and can't find specs for bleeder size. Repair kits have 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 size. TIA!!

    I assume that you're just asking for the thread type of the bleeders, so I took a quick look at Speed Bleeders at http://speedbleeder.com/automobile_applications.htm and scrolling down to the Audi section, it looks like most of them use SB1010 or SB1010S, and http://speedbleeder.com/size.htm shows that as being M10 (10mm) x 1mm thread pitch. Are the threads on the bleeders messed up, or the threads in the calipers? Anyway, to me, it looks like the thread is probably M10 x 1.0mm. - Jim

    Not sure on the b7 ones, but my 17z are def m10 x 1mm. I used old fw bolts to plug the holes when I painted them.
    Wouldnt surprise me if Brembo uses it on most (maybe all) of them.
    There are only 2 things needed to make an Audi work properly - Duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should - WD40.

    Threads on the calipers, thanks for the info. M10 is about 7/16. I'm just going to have machine shop drill and tap them to use a repair kit.
