I rounded the bleeder screw - what now?
Hi,
I bled the brakes in my 2002 Alero yesterday, for what I plan is the only time. I'd like to know the bleeding process I'll have to follow, now that I have to replace one bleeder screw. Two of the bleeder screws were rounded in the process. I used a flare nut wrench specifically designed for softer fasteners. One of these rounded screws was apparently not tight enough. I discovered it was leaking. I capped off the bleeder screw with a small plastic cap and hose clamp. Today I plan on buying new bleeder screws and installing them. I understand I'll have to re-bleed the wheel where I'm replacing the screw. 1) Will I have to re-bleed all the wheels? 2) Will I have to bleed the master cylinder? I'm not looking forward to this, but I have a Mity Vac and hopefully that wil make things better. |
