I had to bust out the torch on my front bleeder valve this evening. The thing wouldn't budge with vice grips. The rear valves are 8mm, but the front was some funky larger size. It was bigger than a 9mm, less than a 10mm. I tried 3/8th, 7/16ths, nothing fit. I picked up an 8mm replacement (listed in their computer) at Checkers and the threads are to small. I'll be hitting up Napa tomorrow.
Does this sound right to anyone? I didn't see any chryco symbols on the calipers. I did see the letters HK, which I thought might be Hong Kong. I'll be pissed If I have to buy new calipers because the I can't find a bleeder valve that fits. I replaced the brakelines, bled the rear brakes, replaced the front lines, only to get hung up on the front bleeders. I can never catch a break when working on this thing...
