Brothers-
on my 76-77 D44 disc brake calipers, I was replacing the old bleeders with the speed bleeders and whilst one came out of the caliper no problem, the other stripped and rounded. I am soaking it for a day or two in penetrating fluid to see if I can work it out, but it looks like it's gonna give me hell anyway.
My question is, if I have to drill this bitch out and re-tap the bleeder's hole, wouldn't it be easier and more cost effective to just buy a new/reman caliper? I see them online for like $15...
