My Joe Blow bleeder plug that is yellow on the side started leaking.
I went through a bunch of pumps until this one and it has worked flawlessly for over 5 years. I was so pissed when it started leaking.
Tried to remove the hex screw on the other side of the button you push. Could not loosen screw using oil and accetone poured on the bolt. Then I tried to unscrew the yellow button and it now works fine.
Do not know how long the fix will last but thought I would share in case others run into the same problem.
BTW, I would have bought another one of these pumps as it has been incredible besides this problem. I never use the bleed plug and wish they just did not have it.
Curious if others have run into the bleeder plug leaking. If so how did you fix?
