Need a rear brake bleed screw
So, apparently if I go into an auto parts store or dealer, I can't just get the rear bleed screw, I have to get the whole wheel cylinder. Well, I'm just not going to do that if I can help it.
So, I am asking to see if anyone has replaced just the screw and if they remember the size they bought.

I checked your link, Catman and all they showed were universal, of which I'd still need the pitch and such, or the front bleeders.
I guess I'll just have to pull the screw out and take it in. I'll just have to find something to plug the hole with.

Go to Advance if you have one near buy and match yours up to it.
As the link says "Exact fit".
This link will give you the specs on it.

Man, I'd like to know where you get your cylinders. Anywhere here is minimum of $35+.

I don't know what the problem is here. He has a 2006. It's either an LS or LT.
I really don't think a bleeder screw size is going to change when both models use the same wheel cylinder.
My two links give him enough info to go buy it.

Last cylinders I got on eBay were about $8 each. That's why you can't find rebuild kits anymore. If they have been changed before there is no guarantee of size. They may have changed from cast iron to aluminum between years. My 2011 had AL cylinders.
