Ball bearing??

Post by SEC »

While working on the brakes of my 69 2000 I found a ball bearing that I am unsure of the purpose since I have only got one. If anyone knows what it is and where it goes I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks! (Also not sure of where this goes so if it is the wrong thread I am sorry)

That goes inside where the brake bleeder screws in. You need it for the stock bleeder screw. If you change to speed bleeders (recommended) then you take that little ball bearing out.
Lots of threads on this and Tech Wiki has the part no for the speed bleeder which is easy to get Autozone etc
And the General Discussion thread is fine for most questions/ topics.
