It is also the part that seizes, rounds off or snaps when somebody puts a spanner on it after ten years of road salt, which is why a box of them is worth having before you start a brake job rather than after. Six threads cover the common fitments across cars, vans, bikes and older machinery, so a seized nipple does not stop the job while you wait for a part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox contents (60 pieces total)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 x M6 x 1mm\u003cbr\u003e10 x M7 x 1mm\u003cbr\u003e10 x M8 x 1.25mm\u003cbr\u003e10 x M10 x 1mm\u003cbr\u003e10 x 1\/4\" UNF (28 tpi)\u003cbr\u003e10 x 3\/8\" UNF (24 tpi)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck the length as well as the thread when replacing a bleed screw - too long and it bottoms out before it seals, too short and it will not reach the seat. Where the original used a sealing washer, fit a new one rather than reusing the old. Tighten to seal but no harder, as the seat is a taper and it is easily damaged, and bleed the system through and check for leaks before the vehicle goes back on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrake calipers and wheel cylinders, clutch slave cylinders, brake and clutch servicing, caliper and cylinder overhauls, cars, vans and motorcycles, classics and restoration, trailers and agricultural machinery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as bleed nipples, brake nipples, bleeder screws, bleed valves, caliper bleed screws, or a brake bleed screw assortment box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DH \u0026 JS Trading Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56539066597754,"sku":"AT143","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/2239\/6850\/files\/AT143.png?v=1770193472","url":"https:\/\/www.dhjstrading.com\/products\/60pc-assorted-box-of-brake-bleed-screws-nipples-metric-unf","provider":"DH \u0026 JS Trading Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
