> will anti-seize affect the porformance of the brake
No, I load up the threads and the female hole in the caliper with copper anti-seize before I start to bleed the brakes even in new calipers. Any that gets in teh hole gets flushed. Sometimes I have found the threads stripped by the bleeder being put in crooked and returned the caliper before it was even installed.
I as doing a Thunderbird rear caliper brake job and I could not remove the bleeder at all with a 1/4 ratchet. I brought it back to the parts store and dared the parts counter "person" to give it a try. No go, cross threaded right out of the box. Considering the cost of those things, it was a good thing I checked.
