I have new ones if you need one. I also still have a few rear heater cores for $70 and they come with a new bleeder screw. You should check the lower edge of the core as any crusty white stuff here will show that the core is seeping. Hope this helps.

Never tightened it very hard last time, but I just "touched" it,and it broke completely off this morning.I think I have an extra valve with a bleeder screw.Havent checked yet.Maybe a valve without a bleeder screw I have.Anyway, does anyone know the thread size? I may have to stick in a bolt.Any ez way to extract the remaining bleeder piece? It brokeoff with about 1/4 of a turn left on the thumb part, so I just stuck it backinto the hole and cut off the valve.
