ETR174 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Does anyone know what the size of the bleeder screws are for the stock calipers? Also are these easy to obtain from any auto store like Advance Auto Parts or Autozone? The hex to loosen and tighten the screw stripped to I have to get a new one. Looked around and couldn't find anything relating to the size of the screws :/ Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

registered user Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 let me guess. vice grips is the only tool you own and stripped it. get a $3 craftsman 8mm box/open end wrench while your picking up the new bleeder screw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 No I used an 8mm wrench. I have plenty of tools, probably just because they are 20 years old and are brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Although the left one is the only one that is stripped and I had to use vise grips to take the screw out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETR174 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Ok so I wanted to update this real quick. These are the measurements from the stock bleeder that originally comes on the bikes. Keep in mind that these have a point on the end of them. A (Overall Length): 27.34MM B (Hex Size): 8MM (M8) C (Thread Pitch): 1.25MM D (Thread Start to Tip): 17MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
