I prefer to replace old bleeders with speedbleeders. These have a built-in check valve to make bleeding much easier. Best availability and prices are on Amazon. Check which size you need. Here's the last one I got from Amazon -- can't remember for which car: Edelbrock/Russell 639530 Speed Bleeder Dan Davids Seattle --------------------- Hello Greg, Thanks for the advice.

Presoak the bleeder with a good rust remover or some PB Blaster for s day. Use some flame, propane will do, and heat the area around the bleeder but not the bleeder itself. Get it so it's just glowing red. Then smack the bleeder screw dead on with a hammer, maybe more than once. Bleeder should come right out. I usually end up using a pair of vise grips so you'll want to replace the screw, prefereably with a stainless steel one if you can find it. ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 Help the Forward Look with every eBay purchase by starting your search here: http://www.ForwardLook.net/eBay >>> Error in line 20 of l-forwardlook.mailtpl: unknown formatting command >>> <<< -> ...and with every Amazon purchase by clicking here: <- ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 Help the Forward Look with every eBay purchase by starting your search here: http://www.ForwardLook.net/eBay >>> Error in line 20 of l-forwardlook.mailtpl: unknown formatting command <<< -> ...and with every Amazon purchase by clicking here: <-
