Rounded Brake Bleeder Valve/Replace??
When bleeding brakes on my '94 yesterday, on the very last one, the 10
mm hex nut had been worn — "rounded corners". Is this an easy fix. I
will use small pair of "vise grips" to loosen. QUESTION: Does this valve
unscrew all-the-way-OUT? Or does the " whole line" have to be replaced?
Can purchases be made at any parts store?
ONE MORE THANKYOU GUYS!

Yes they come all the way out and can be obtained at a parts store. No worries! They are 10mm, don't remember the exact thread pitch but it's a fairly fine one.
