|
Application Wheel cylinders 11" and 14" |
Type Standard thread |
|

Fitting In wheel cylinder |
Features
- Suitable for 11" and 14" wheel cylinders
- Front and rear wheels
- Standard thread
- Replaceable when corroded or damaged
- Essential for proper brake maintenance
★ Bleeder screws are critical components regularly exposed to corrosion. Check during every brake maintenance whether they still open properly — seized examples can render the entire wheel cylinder unusable.
Installation notes
Do not overtighten during fitting — the screw must form a close-fitting seal, but excessive torque damages the seat in the wheel cylinder. Lightly grease the thread with PTFE paste or brake fluid-resistant paste to prevent corrosion. Protect after fitting with a rubber dust cap against dirt and moisture.
Compatibility
Fits all standard 11" and 14" wheel cylinders as used in WC-series, Power Wagon, WM300 and M37 family. Not suitable for master cylinders — these have different bleeding provisions.
Historical context
Hydraulic brake systems on WWII military vehicles used wheel cylinders with bleeder screws to remove air from the system after repair. Due to exposure to brake fluid, moisture and road salt, these screws often seized, breaking off during maintenance.
