rusted bleeded screws

While I was doing the rear brakes on my 2003 I noticed that the front bleeder screws are so rusty and not much left to them. The rears look like I can get them out. I would suggest as a good Maintenance move to replace the bleeder screws on your calipers.

Re: rusted bleeded screws

thats a common issue. I had to use an easy out on my rear calipers to get the bleeder screws out. But the previous owner had a boat and underneath it looks like he dunked half the Tahoe a few times.
