Anybody know what fittings I need in order to bleed Cura 4s? Same as older DOT Formulas? Something new?
Cotter pin it now?bump...
let's say hypothetically a ham-fisted person was to have fubar'd the brake pad fixing bolt and may need to drill it out of the caliper. Can anyone confirm if it's the same part as on any other Formula caliper? Better still anyone know a part number?
Asking for a friend.
I don't have a Cura to compare to, but I can measure whatever dimensions would be helpful on the bolt out of an RO if that would help.bump...

I assume, yes.Aluminium bolt?
It's steel on the RO. I'd be really surprised if the Cura one was aluminum.I assume, yes.
This thing is a bizutch to get out too. Too small to grip with pliers, can't cut a groove for a screwdriver.
it has a polished finish, very smooth. can't get much purchase with needle nose so far.It's steel on the RO. I'd be really surprised if the Cura one was aluminum.
Can you get needle nose pliers to grip the shank of it, in between the pads? You could also drill a hole through that part of it cross wise and stick an allen wrench through that.
Have you tried pounding in a slightly oversized Freedom-unit wrench/bit? Or Torx?...fubar'd the brake pad fixing bolt ...
Even better, give him properly segmented calipers .+Rep this man ^^^
M5 standard thread is 0.8 pitch, not 1.0, FWIW. I'd be surprised if that was coarser than that, and it doesn't look like it either.
That does also appear to be the same bolt as used in the RO.
