I've come across bleeders where the small holes inside are corroded over after the cap came off. Don't know what's available in your area. But, Auto Zone, Discount and Advance Auto Parts here all carry a brand of replacement bits and pieces under the "Help!" brand. The parts are usually all together in one section and carded to red packaging. If they don't have a purpose made bleeder cover, I suppose a cut down vacuum fitting cap would work, too. Those are usually available in a small assortment pack. eddie

that final drop of fluid. I must admit, cough, that if the rubber cap is missing when I started, it is still missing when I finish....

strongly suggest it be replaced if missing?
