Rear Caliper Bleeder Problem
We went to bleed the brakes today on my dad's '79 and had a problem with the left rear, inside bleeder. When loosening the bleeder, the whole sleeve/seat came out of the caliper. Seems like they have rusted together. Tried heating it up and hitting it with PB Blaster, but nothing worked. Went to Napa and all they had was the bleeder screw and not the seat part that screws into the caliper. Anyone know where I can purchase one without have to buy a rebuilt caliper?

While the site says nothing about it being Stainless Steel Sleeved.. it is.. and I will make sure this is changed on Tuesday.
