Hi lads, I am currently after x4 bleed screws, x2 for the calipers, x2 for the rear drums, on my peugeot 206 1.4. I cannot find where to buy them for the life of me. Any suggestions? Thanks Dan

Dealer? Peugeot or Citroen will be able to get them .. and don't assume they are more expensive .. I've bought new parts from them cheaper than I could find on fleabay!

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

I know quite deer. But this is another thing I need to come on to..the rear bleed screws in the hubs, are seriously stuck, I have tried soaking in WD40, and with a pair of mole grips, trying to wiggle them free..no luck. I have gone out and got some plus gas lubricant which I will be trying, also I am going to try heating them up if the plus gas, fails. Any other ideas? I cannot get a spanner on there as they just keep slipping.

Now I know why one of our rear caliper bleed screws was snapped off ..

Use a proper flared brake union spanner and apply plenty of heat first.

Gazza, i think the only solution for that is a new caliper, when needing to bleed, although my college tutor (studying vehicle mechanics) said you can get away with just bleeding the other points it should be fine. Lee, i dont have a flare spanner, would mole grips do the job? Being careful of course. Thank you for the help Dan.

try a socket (best fit, ie hexagon only, not a double hexagon style socket) and a bit of heat as suggested. Stainless bleed screws are a good investment, particularly if you plan the keep the car for a while.

I've tried heating them with a blowtorch, using plus gas lubricant, no avail. It's completely rounded now. Anyone have any last minute tips before it goes to the garage?

hammer on a socket that's a bit too small, might be enough to grip it. If it does come off, its easy enough to get the bit out of the socket with a metal punch
