bleader valve size? The brake bleader valves on all four corners of my car are ready to be replaced becasue I stripped a couple. I went to the dealership for replacement bleaders and they said they discontinued them. I went to Advanced Auto Parts and CarQuest and all they have is a bunch of missed matched bleaders in a package on the wall for all vehicle types. The question is how deep is the bleaders supposed to thread. I know they have the hole drilled into the bottom beneath the threads and I figured the length of the bleader would make a diffrence. Im having a hell of a time bleading. I have a mityvac and an attatchment for my air compressor to get the job done.
good question. if you cant find stock, now would be a good time to upgrade to something like a self bleeder. i think earls makes them, both front and rear (theyre different). theyll be matched to your car and should fit perfectly. then bleeding alone will be easy. i dont have them, but others that do say theyre great.
