No luck. Bleeder valve not available on said product. Picture has not been updated.
$10 store credit offered.
Plan B.
You can use your bleeder valve assembly, all you need is the special bolt that holds the bleeder valve on, and if your old one will fit, then you are good to go.
If that is a 620 brake cylinder, then just go find a 620 and grab the part.

Excessive rusting issues.

That is why I hunted down a set of cylinders that came with the bleeder valves.

Plan B is going to be trying to save the ones I have. I'm not very optimistic.

They're soaking currently before I proceed to remove them.

We inherited the Lexus a while ago.

Game plan has always been to sell Lexus to pay off wife's Honda Pilot then I get to buy a car.

Her thought...keep Lexus. Keep Pilot. Use Lexus. Do something with the Accord. Sell it? Keep it? Turn it in to a fish tank?




We're doing all we can to buy a house in the next 1-2 years. Me being wrapped up in another car payment for 4-5 years is just stupid.









"Yes, honey. You're right. Me driving the Lexus is a very good idea. But...I'm lowering it and putting wheels on the sumabitch!" "OK" she said.

Yes.


A $150,000 house here is close to $300K there.


We're going to be here for at least a year. I'm willing to stick that out and see what my dealership can do for me as far as Factory Certifications.
