bleed screw replacement today!

Post by TX82FIAT »

folks, I have a promise to keep with my daughter for a Saturday ride. While bleeding the brakes I actually broke the head of the bleed screw last night. I have read through the posts on bleed screws and was able to remove the bottom part of the screw. Good news the caliper was not stript and I was able to push a small file into the bleed hole and turn it out. I see where IAP and many other companies carry bleed screws. However, I need to get a bleed screw in the rear caliper in the next day to keep my promise. Can anyone tell me the specs of the bleed screw. Can you find these at NAPA or Autozone?



Thanks, Ray

Update, looks like it is an M8 X1.25 32MM long. I'm searching parts stores in the area. May be able to special order and have in the AM.

NAPA carries them for $2.66 per bleed screw. Picked up a couple today. All is good in the world of parent communication. :lol:
