doni10 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hello, Am swapping out my front chewed up, (it would never fully tighten down), caliper brake bleeder screw , and when i took it to my local mechanic -for him to measure the size- , he said i needed to find an exact replacement. Is this true? I looked it up on Rockauto (the 'dual piston bleed screw) and they don't even look like the one that was in there? rockauto The calipers in question are new, (although i forget the make). Thoughts on the matter much appreciated! Thanks, Andoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I've never seen a bleeder without a tapered seat. That's how they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
