I accidently posted this on the Transmission and Drivetrain board. Anyway, I have rear drums and was wondering how to bleed them. I see there is a nipple, but is there a screw that needs to be loosened? Is it possible to loosen that little nipple, it seems impossible to me.

 

I think the nipple you're talking about is just the cap over the bleeder screw. If what you're talking about is plastic it should just pull off.

If that was all to it, wouldn't the liqid come out all the time. Isn't there something to unscrew to allow the fluid to flow?

 

The bleeder screw is right above where the hard brake line goes into the cylinder. It's a 7mm piece if I remember right.

 

I think the "nipple" your talking about is just the dust cap. Look under it.

 

Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.
