Re: Alfetta bleed screws

[James Montebello <jamesm@domain.elided>]

Lots of Liquid Wrench.  Soak them for 2-3 days first.  The bleeder screws
on my Alfetta are 7mm, not 6mm.  Use a box-end wrench, as they tend to
fit a bit better, and spread the load over all six points, not just two
like an open end wrench.
