To All,

I crawled under my truck today to try and fix my brakes. A brake hose worked its way loose a few days ago and suddenly, on my way to work, i had no brakes!! =o

After some quick evasize maneuvers and fast downshifts on my automatic transmission, i rolled to a stop--accident-free. *whew*

Anyways, long story aside, I tried to bleed my brakes today. It seems that (so far) two of my valves for bleeding brakes (whatever they're called) are metric!! @#*@#!!! They're also made of aluminum.

Has anyone else encountered this on their truck(s)??

Any advice is welcomed. I'm hoping the SAE threads have not been stripped out when the former owner (or whoever) did this.


Thanks,


Tom
