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.

Thanks,

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.
