brake bleeders

I'm thinking of ordering a set of the Earls' Solo_Bleed brake bleeders, but I need the thread patern.

Why? What's wrong with the stock bleeder screws?

There's nothing wrong with the stock bleeders I was just hoping to get the solo-bleeders so I didn't have to worry about having someone else around when I bleed the brakes. I figured I'd see if someone here knew what size before I pulled one and matched up the thread size.

I've had them out before but I don't remember what the thread size was. There's another way you can bleed the brakes without replacing the bleeders though and without having someone help you.

Use one of these. Power bleeder (http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PFYC&Product_Code=GN7013&Product_Count=5&Category_Code=GAOTHER)

Pretty cheap and works well. You can get different caps so you can use the same unit to bleed brakes on any car. Just don't follow their directions and fill it with brake fluid. I've found what happens is it over-fills the reservoir, and the cap can hold air pressure but it isn't tight enough to keep the fluid in so it ends up overflowing and getting brake fluid all over. I just pump it up with air to pressurize the system, and after bleeding for a while I take it off and fill the reservoir when it starts getting low.
