Brake bleeder caps

SouthArk370Z · 09-26-2014, 01:59 PM

It's been a few decades since I worried about such things (I seldom keep a car long enough to worry about brakes, other than periodic visual inspections), but last time I looked, the brake bleeder valves and dust caps were standardized parts. They only come in a very few sizes (one?) and the physical dimensions for each size are the same. Ie, it doesn't matter which car they are labeled for. Or at least that's the way it was before metrification. YMMV

Yeah i just listed one model in particular so if you go to the dealer you have something to give him instead of "i need those little rubber caps on the calipers off of some car"

I called the local Toyota dealership and they had a couple in stock... I'm having my calipers redone and a few were missing so figured I'd replace em...

I bought these but I haven't got them yet: Helix Racing Products Brake Bleeder Cap 202-1005. Should be fine and will report back once I have them.

Confirmed. Fits like a tight glove! $10.50 for 5 ($2.10 per unit) via eBay. Attached image; new on and deteriorated on finger.

Omg this is perhaps the greatest thread I have found on the forums to date! Unicorns are real and they are only $2 each!!
