Hi Tom,

I would never have figured that one out on my own. I'm sitting at work 
right now so I can't have a look at my bike. But from the picture I see in 
the repair CD, there are two flats machined across the adapter just above 
the hex portion. I guess these are wrenching flats to remove the adapter 
and the speedbleeder would screw in at this point? Do you see any problems 
leaving the speedbleeder permanently installed?  Thanks.
