Tape on the threads was the only way I got my system to bleed correctly.

This video is of some rebuilt calipers I bought where at some point someone appears to have used a tap instead of a thread chaser to clean up the threads.

I attempted to bleed the system on the truck with these but the slop was so bad there was no way. ( leaks galore)

The auto parts store found me another replacement pair and the bleeder screws had much less wobble. I added tape to the threads and finished by reverse bleeding the system.
