Anyone here bleed their own SRAM brakes? It appears FORCE may have a different bleed port size. Can someone confirm or deny?
SRAM Force eTap Brake Bleed
Apologies if this is posted somewhere before. I did a search but the keywords hit on dozens of pages of threads so I figured this may be easier.
I bought a SRAM pro brake bleed kit so I could bleed my brakes. Unfortunately, the kit did not have the correct size fitting on the bleed tube on the caliper side. It had the correct one for the lever though. I ran into this problem with the Jagwire bleed kit and thought getting the SRAM pro kit would solve my problem.
Does anyone have any insight into where I can get a fitting that will fit the Force eTap disc brake bleed port so I can bleed my brakes? Links to an online store is always a bonus.
Thanks in advance.

There's an updated caliper port. It should be included w/ what it is in that kit.
Yes, you are correct. I finally figured out that the red star looking thing (I'm sure it has a real name) actually fits into the allen head screw. You simply have to break the allen screw loose and then insert that red thing. Too easy.There's an updated caliper port. It should be included w/ what it is in that kit.
