Bleed System Check Valve Replace

**Glastron1987** · 12-01-2018, 04:31 PM

Need to replace at least one of my bleed system check valves (as one came apart). The new ones seem to have a ring of pre-applied red loctight, or something of that nature. Does this mean I have to heat up the old one to pull it out?

When i replaced mine i just used a pair of vise grips and got a hold of shoulder and twisted them a little and they pulled right out. I found a deep 1/4 drive socket to fit the bleeder shoulder and drove them back in.

Vice grips worked pulling it out and the 1/4" worked putting in the new one. Thanks!
