I'm changing the brake fluid in a Mercedes S550 after replacing the rear pads and rotors. Right rear went fine. Left rear bleeder was very difficult to loosen even a little, and after I tightened it back, it was leaking out of the center. Calipers are aluminum. With a lot of effort, I got the bleeder all the way out for examination and I see a lot of aluminum fused to it from the caliper.
Would a new bleeder screw work? Do I tap the hole first? Or do I need a caliper. Not too expensive but would be next week before I get it.
