So, car is liscensed, has a title, and should be drivable.
Except my new, zero miles, master cylinder is leaking. OKay, no biggie. I order another new one from Pelican, and spend today getting it installed. I hate those reservour lines! So, new master is installed, fresh fluid in the system, time to bleed it. Hook up the long tubes, crack off the rear passenger side bleeder valve (which is also new - zero miles) and it is stripped. Drip. Drip Drip. I had taken a 1/2 day off work Tuesday to get my car aligned. Drip drip drip. Monday I have a 17 hour day. I won't even be able to look at my car. Drip drip. No way to stop it. Frusterated. Tired. Head is spinning from laying on a creeper too long. No one around here stocks the bleeder screws for my 914, and if Bug World is not open (as is the norm) I'll have to wait until the end of the week for them to be ordered. Fucking car simply will not let me get it on the road. I can only hope, at this point, that I can come up with a bleeder valve tuesday after work. I am so close, and it feels like my car is just trying to find things to throw at me. Zach |

Okay, so what size bleeder screw do I want to move to. Does the ID of the outlet need to stay the same? How do you keep the sealing surface true? Just do it on a drill press and make sure not to go deep enough to get to the seal point for the bleeder?

Zach I will take a stab at it and say the next size bleeder up, whatever that mite be.And as far as the ID goes i dont think it would really matter as long as you have a good seat and it seals off the pressure you should be ok....maybe someone like Mr Shea is a better person to ask ...someone will chime in soon |
