Bleed Screw for the rear drum brake wheel cylinder, used to purge air from the hydraulic circuit during brake bleeding.

Threaded into the wheel cylinder, the screw is loosened to release trapped air and old fluid as fresh fluid is pumped through, then retightened to seal the cylinder. A correctly seated bleed screw is essential to a firm pedal and a sealed hydraulic system.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Bleed Screw used for on Land Rover Defender rear brakes?

The Bleed Screw threads into the rear drum brake wheel cylinder and is loosened to purge air and old fluid from the hydraulic circuit during brake bleeding. Once fresh fluid runs through cleanly, it's retightened to seal the cylinder. It fits the Land Rover Defender with rear drum brakes.

How many bleed screws are needed for a rear brake bleed?

Typically one bleed screw per rear wheel cylinder. A full rear brake bleed usually involves both rear cylinders, so check each side. It's a single fixing sold individually, and it's worth renewing if the old screw is corroded or the bleed nipple is rounded off.

Can the bleed screw be reused or should it be replaced?

The bleed screw can usually be reused if its seat and threads are sound, but it's commonly renewed when corroded or rounded, which is frequent on older Defenders. A poorly seating screw lets air into the circuit and gives a spongy pedal. A clean, correctly seated screw is essential to a sealed hydraulic system.
