did it break in the housing? or are the threads messed up?

off topic: i was bleeding the system in a parking lot late one night and i dropped that damn bleeder screw down the fender. You know those thread are weird and kinda hard to come buy. I ended up pulling all the inner fender out to find that thing. When i ordered the ss replacements i ordered 2 and i keep one in the glove box.

The factory part is spendy, is there an aftermarket one?

If you go to the dealer and beg and plead they will probably get you just the screw for $10 or so. Mine broke right after they worked on it, and I called them and complained and they got me one!

Then I ordered the metal T valve from lubrication specialists, and put the plastic one in the glove box.
