A bleeder screw threads into a bleed port in the brake hydraulic system. It opens to release air and old fluid when the system is bled. Signs it may need replacing include a screw that is seized, rounded off, snapped or leaking fluid. It is cataloged for front and rear brake positions. The catalog lists two per application, and this package contains two screws. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, torque and bleeding. Country of origin: China.
