#1: Bleed screws. Author: Danweider, Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2017 8:36 am ---- 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

#6: Re: Bleed screws. Author: Danweider, Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2017 11:06 am ---- 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.

#8: Re: Bleed screws. Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Fri Nov 24, 2017 4:12 pm ---- Use a proper flared brake union spanner and apply plenty of heat first.
#9: Re: Bleed screws. Author: Danweider, Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2017 5:43 pm ---- 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.

Stainless bleed screws are a good investment, particularly if you plan the keep the car for a while.
