I'm in the process of bleeding the brakes on my 90 240 wagon.
First ,I am able to get all but one of the bleeder screws loose, then brake the remaining one off after carefully working on it. I then try an easy out and brake that off in the process &%#$#@@
I' m know going to a machine shop for help.

I decided to replaced the 2 rear screws in the process because of how rusty they were along with the front one I busted off.

I searched 4 auto stores for bleeder valves and found 2 that fit thread-wise, but the end off the screw doesn't come to a point like the original.
My question is:
Is this a problem as far as sealing the valve when tightening or do I need to bite the DEALER BULLET and use original valves?

Thanks for any inputs
Chapster out
