The advice I was hoping for was a recommendation of a compatible
or
insoluble heavy grease to put on the bleeder threads. The only
"brake
grease" I have is for the caliper slides and rear self-adjuster,
and
its strength is a high temperature tolerance to keep it off the
friction surfaces rather than compatibility with the fluid and
rubber
cups.
I would and have used "SIL-GLYDE Lubricating Compound" for stuff
like that. Been using it to protect/seal the reservoir/pumps area
on
my
Magna motorcycle for many years now. The tube I have is very old,
given
to me by a professional mechanic. He was giving me advice on how
to
rebuild the front disc brakes on my truck. See:

Haven't noticed any thing odd/weird going on when I change the
fluid
in
the reservoirs on the cycle yearly.

Yep, that's the right direction. Thanks.
Here is some discussion for and against using it on disk brake
piston
seals:

They make/sell it with several different names. I don't know if it
is
all the same or not. That article doesn't really say which version
the
original poster was using but I got the feeling it was the stuff for
stopping squeals. Lots of other useful suggestions there though. For
some info on the different "Glydes" see:

They seem to like that "Glyde" name

My shop manual is similar. The text says to "Coat the piston, piston
seals and caliper bore with clean brake fluid", but doesn't mention
the piston seal grease.
I suspect that a grease meant to go on the piston seals won't cause a
problem if a bit of it leaks in from the bleeder screw, although they
must have a reason for specifying a different grease on external
parts.
