Re: 1954 Chev 3100 Brake Bleeder

There are little rubber caps that go over the bleeder screw end that do the same thing as those screws. That was probably a mechanic's fix way back when so he didn't have to take the screws out and clean out the passageway to get them to work. I lost track of the hundreds of times I did that over the years that I was doing a lot of brake jobs in shops. The caps are kind of spendy at the parts house but you can get a bag of 50 for around 10 bucks on Ebay or Amazon.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
