Does anyone happen to know the specs for the rear brake bleeder screw? Went to bleed them and stripped the damn thing.

Sorry, don't know. But you can take the bldr screw to a good hardware store and use the thread gauge to determine the thread spec. You are going to be there anyway to buy the tap.

I'd have to take it out and leave it open to do that.

It took some digging, but I finally found a youtube vid about it. M10x1.00 front, M8x1.25 rear.

Good job! Once you have confirmed it maybe you could post it in one of the "Sticky" threads
Thanks

Handy spec to know for those that want to buy and install speedbleeders too! I wonder if the 350 calipers take the same size? Was there any information on the site you found that covered that spec?
