Speed bleeders for stock festiva calipers?

[festerzilla]

Or any way to get bleeder valve without getting a caliper? I snapped it off after fixing the brake line, and was lucky to get the stub out of the calipers (in a vice, vice grips, torched, and quenched with deepcreep) :roll: Now I need to find a solution before work tommorrow afternoon. The parts store would have to order a caliper. Any chance a Mazda or other japanese car would have the same valve? :scratch: Got to get it on the road tommorrow. Thanks.

dunno about other mazda cars, but the aspire bleeders (which are as close to festiva brakes as I know of) are different than the festiva ones, so I would guess other ones are too

Thanks for the response, I looked around and the bleeder screw is M7x1.0x34mm. That is similar to many japanese cars, and all bmw's

I got the bleeder and the car is back together in time for work What was crazy is that P*rtsAmerica and N*PA had the festiva bleeder screw size as M7x1.0, and guess what, wasn't on my car maybe not on any festiva. The size is M8x1.0 and A*tozone had them but I had to give a part number and then TELL THEM they had it in stock. They found them after rummaging in the back a while. What a PITA this has been, glad its done. I'm sure stuff like this is what causes a lot of otherwise good Festivas to end up in the boneyard.
