Question about rebuilt caliper 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Caleb D on  Wed Sep 10 03:45 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I just purchased two rebuilt rear calipers for my 87 740 GLE from Volvopartsdirect.com. The bleeder screw on one of them seems very loose in the threads compared to the other. The bleeder screw wiggles around quite a bit until it actualy bottoms out. Is this correct? I am concerned about the quality and correctness of the fit, but the volvopartsdirect person [insert less than nice comments here] assures me that this is normal since the bleeder screw uses a 'pipe thread'. Any comments or advice appreciated. I do not want to have the bleeder screw unseat as a result of vibration.
