I stripped the bleed screw on my newest coolant tee.

Anyone have a working alternative tee made from something a little sturdier than the plastic?

Has anyone had luck using the brass coolant tee bleed screw after stripping the plastic bleed screw?

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Also considered using one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Docooler-Temp...DH5NW1CY4WK909

Thought about putting it inline slightly ahead of the current coolant tee, then epoxy the bleed screw into the current tee.

Anyone tried that?

 

Use the brass one. Be careful not to over tighten. The o ring is what makes the seal.

 

BMW Vent Screw. No more that $10 and its brass.

 

BMW PN 17111712788, stock/dealer part is plastic as well. Brass is aftermarket upgrade. Goggle PN for buying options.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered the brass one and that 32mm connector. Figure that out of the two, I'll eventually get something that doesn't leak.

 

Huh, good to know. Thanks.

 

So far, it looks like the brass screw is not leaking. It leaked at first, but it was because I was afraid of tightening it too much.
