Where do you guys get your bleeder screws. Oreillys said they had the one I need for my front drums but they were all the wrong sizes. 1974.

Here’s a pic of the stripped one I removed.

Oriellys, pep boys should have them, be careful some replacement brake cylinders are metric.

go to a napa they use to have plastic bin and you pick out what you need by comparison rather than part number.

Factory were 3/8-24 IIRC, same as the inlet port for the 3/8-24 inverted flare tube nut.

Yea, Ain't that annoying! Usually requires 10mm wrench when that happens.

Worse, the speedy bleeders are 3/8 thread, but head of nut is metric 10mm
