Default Not an LSx, but still need help

Hey guys i need some help with something. My sister has a 2001 KIA Optima. Her brakes are squeaking really bad, and she says they arent working that well anymore. I pulled all four tires and checked them and there is plenty of life left on the pads. So i bled the line, well i tried to bleed the line. But there is a stupid little plastic piece in the way for a sensor or something. I tried to use my power bleeder that i used on my T/A for the clutch. Well anyway, does anyone have any ideas of what it might be, or expirience with something similar to this?

Can you take some pictures? I did a cursory search on Google, but couldn't find much. I don't think there's a KIATech.com anywhere....

Pics would help, of the rotor assembly and of the plastic piece you're talking about.

Fwiw, I don't know how you're girlfriend drives, but hauling a KIA down from a buck-twenty even once can really make them squeal.
