Need a new bleeder screw - Cars & Trucks

Make sure the calipers are installed on the correct sides. The bleeder screws need to be on the top. If the calipers are on the wrong sides, the bleeder screws will be on the bottom and bleeding will be impossible

bleed slave cylinder of air. to do this let someone pressdown and hold on the clutch pedal, open bleeder screw let air escape close bleeder screw release clutch pedal, do this until a solid stream of fluid comes out of bleeder screw always close bleeder screw before releasing clutch pedal to avoid sucking in air into the cylinder. be sure you dont run out of fluid in the reservoir. and fill to max when done

Here's a link to a picture of the brake lines,you may need to remove and take to Autozone and match up to make sure it's the right one,you will need to get bleeder kit,and loosen bleeder screw at that side and remove fluid.Also buy more brake fluid,ask them what type you need.Be very careful when you loosen bleeder screw,they are very easy to strip,need a line wrench,discard fluid,never reuse.After you get new hose on,you will need to bleed,need to know,let me know.

best way is with pressure bleeder system
i have also luck out by backbleeding the system
get an new oil pump can fill with fluide open bleeder screw
insert clear tubbing over bleeder screw and on to oil spout
start pumping oil can until oil fill top reservoir then sht bleeder and remove tube and oil can
most system use brake fluide for clutch
thats why need to use new oil pump can do not cross contaminate with any other oil
worked for me

unthread the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder (usually 10mm). Remove the two bolts that hold the slave to the transmission (usually 12 or 13mm). Remove the slave. Install the new one.

You'll need another person to help you bleed the air out of the new slave. Make sure the clutch master is full of brake fluid. Open the slave bleeder screw (usually a 10 or 8 mm) and have your helper push down on the clutch pedal. Once the pedal is all the way down close the slave bleeder screw. You helper will then have to pull up on the clutch pedal with there hand. Continue this process until no more air comes out of the slave bleeder screw making sure to keep the reservoir full of brake fluid.

you will need a friend to help you for this
Buy some new brake fluid, about 500ml should be enough
you can buy some clear plastic tube with about a 3mm hole through it, 300 to 400mm long or 1ft to 1ft 4inches, put one end of the tube into a small jar or something to catch the fluid when it comes out of the bleeder valve
find the bleeder on the disc caliper and also on the backing plate of the rear wheels unless it has rear disc brakes as well, slip the other end of the plastic tube over the bleeder screw
top up the brake fluid in the resevoir
get you friend or whoever to pump the brake pedal
while you put the spanner on the bleeder screw
tell your friend to push down on the pedal
loosen the bleeder screw about half a turn until the brake fluid starts to come through the plastic tubing
your friend has to keep the pressure on the brake pedal as it will go to the floor when you open the bleeder
once it has been pushed to the floor tell your friend to hold it down while you close the bleeder screw
once you have closed the bleeder screw he or she can pump the pedal up again until it goes hard
repeat this process until there is a good flow of fluid coming through with no air
check the brake fluid resevoir several times during this process to make sure that is not empty because if it is empty you will have to start the process all over again
repeat this process for all 4 wheels
hope this has helped

Yes you probably cross threaded it when you were trying to put it back into the caliper, they are made of aluminum for the most part and they strip very easily. The caliper should be steel but on a newer vehicle might be a lighter alloy. If it is only partially in but is sealing and no brake fluid is present I wouldn't worry too much about it. If the system is sealing then you have four options:

1. Forcefully screw the bleeder screw all the way down and hope you dont break it off in the caliper and it seals.

2. Buy a new bleeder screw and make sure it threads straight in.

3. Buy a new bleeder screw and a tap and die kit. Retap the hole in the caliper to the proper thread size (you are basically cleaning up the threads at this points, not making the whole any larger). Screw the new bleeder screw in.

4. Buy a tap and die kit and tap the hole out to a larger diameter and replace it with a larger diameter bleeder screw.

You can also buy a new caliper or helicoil the old one, but this would require drilling and tapping the old one anyhow.

If the bleeder screw is leaking, pull it out an carefully inpsect for damage or scoring...

If bleeder screw, replace it, if caliper is damaged, replace that.

the bleeder screw should have nothing to do with the brake line attachment.

To bleed you brake system, you will need brake fluid, a jar, and a couple feet of small hose that fits tightly on the bleeder screws. You should not need to remove the tires to access the bleeder screws, but you may need to raise the vehicle a bit to access them.

To bleed the system, start with the right rear wheel. Put a couple inches of brake fluid in the jar, attach the hose to the bleeder screw, put the hose in the jar of brake fluid, then open the bleeder screw. Once the bleeder screw is open, pump the brake several times. Next, close the bleeder screw. After you close the bleeder screw, remove the hose and jar, then fill the master cylinder with brake fluid.
Repeat the steps going to the left rear second, right front third, and left front last.

Once you have bled the system your brakes should be tight and working nice.

I hope this information helps you, and I wish you luck on your repair.

Try using a pressure bleeder. It will force the air out. Works every time.
