Somehow one of the brake bleeders got rounded off, so I need a replacement. I upgraded to LS1 front brakes last year, and the part number I have from the parts manual pdf floating around is 18029799. GM Parts Direct says that there is not an item associated with this number. Is there an updated part number for this, or can you no longer buy the bleeder valve separately? All of the local parts stores only have self-bleed bleeders, and I've heard of people having problems with those.

 

That sounds pretty crazy to me.
I know Discount auto (advanced auto parts) has them in the HELP section.
It's the Motormite brand.

i know autozone has a box a bleeder screws with different threads

 

Autozone gave me one this weekend. But I ended up not needing it. The easy-out broke off inside the old bleed screw, so I had to install a new caliper.

If you can, take the old one in with you. They'll probably need it.
