help! stripped bleeder screw

[yeuporsch]

Trying to put my car back together. Now having problem with one of the rear bleeder screw, seems to be stripped. How do I fix this problem without damaging the caliper. How about those one way bleeder screw as replacement?

Thanks,

John

I installed the Speed Bleeders during my hose replacement and caliper painting project. They work great. Hope you get the old bleeder out with out any damage.

First, order a new bleeder screw. Second, when I was switching to Speed Bleeders on my SC, I stripped one of the old bleeders head. I got ahold of it tight with a vise grips and turned it out. They shouldn't be in there that tight, so give the vise grips a try.

i too used the vise grip method on the rear stripped one. speed bleeders, highly recommended.

As long as the bleeder valve seat is good, the exposed parts can look like poopoo...use the vise grip and bleed it, then order a new one..order 4!
