So far this morning thats what I'm experiencing. The easyout is just
twisting. Is the bleeder screw metric or standard threads? I did
manage to find two new bleeder screws the right length and thread
size, the taper is slightly different on the end. I would think that
if I get these back together properly and the new bleeder screws
work while bleeding then they should hold for regular driving. I'm
going to try one more time with the easy out and if that doesn't do
it then I'll try the tap method.
Thanks for the feed back, thats whats so great about this list, there
are so many different approaches to the same problem.
