Bleed Screw - Metric is the bleed nipple for a disc brake caliper.

Threaded into the caliper body, it is opened during brake bleeding to release trapped air and old fluid from the hydraulic circuit, then tightened to seal the system again. This is the metric-thread version. A dust cap normally fits over the exposed end to keep the bore clean between uses.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC1526Z bleed screw used for?
The RTC1526Z is the bleed screw, or bleed nipple, for a disc brake caliper. It threads into the caliper body and is opened during brake bleeding to release trapped air and old fluid from the hydraulic circuit, then tightened to seal the system. This is the metric-thread version.
What's the difference between the metric and imperial bleed screw?
This is the metric-thread version of the bleed screw. Land Rover used both metric and imperial-thread bleed screws across these models, and the two are not interchangeable. Match the thread to your caliper, because the wrong thread won't seat or seal and can damage the caliper.
How many bleed screws do I need?
Bleed screws are typically fitted one per brake caliper, so a full vehicle usually has one at each corner. Order the quantity your job needs. A dust cap normally fits over the exposed end to keep the bore clean between bleeds.
Which models does this bleed screw fit?
This metric bleed screw fits the Land Rover Defender 1987 to 2006 front and rear brakes, Discovery 1 from VIN FA393361 to WA799999, and Range Rover Classic 1986 to 1994 disc brake models. Confirm your caliper uses a metric thread before ordering.
