All,
when i did my brake rotors and pads we found that the front drivers side bleeder valve nut was pretty badly worn and almost impossible to open and close. i looked on pelican and didnt see a part for just this valve/nut.

or it seems these are generically available if you know the size/length, anyone have info on what size we need?

thanks.

called the dealer, they said no stock in thier inventory and also no stock in germany but they did have the part #
WA 210 420 01 55
looks like they can be found online for $20-27 range. no info on size.

Which calipers are you running? There is a length and if I remember right a size difference between c36 and c32 calipers.

stock C43 calipers
also i do know that the front and rear bleeder screws are different sizes, im only referring to the fronts here.

Do you have a measuring caliper? Can't you just measure up your old one and use a tap and die set to check the thread pitch/size? I kinda went through the same thing when the bleeder for the c32 calipers was broken in shipping. I ordered one through MB but even though the new one fit and worked it's quite a bit longer.

We do have them, $27.50. Let me know if you'd like to get them ordered and I can have a specialist call/email you to discuss everything you need to know for it as well as getting it shipped out to you.

Luccia,
thanks for the response. i did find them on pelican and placed the order with a couple other things

just a note though they dont show up when searching for brake parts for the C43, i only found them by typing the part # directly into the search bar. and i had to call the dealer to get the part #, so it was a bit more work but would have been nice to have them show up in the brakes section.

but still glad that you have them, you usually have everything it said that they were special order.

Fabulous!

Thank you for the recommendation and heads up about the search issue. I will speak with our web people and make sure we can adjust that. If you have any other questions please let me know!

Luccia,
I just got an email notice that the bleeder valve is no longer available.

PelicanParts.com

I had someone do some searching for you and it seems like there isn't something we can find that suggest that it is or isn't available or has superseded. Apologies, I'll try and do some more digging if you can't find it elsewhere.

Luccia,

I believe "C43/CLK55/E55" caliper bleeder valve is:- (M6 or M7X1.0x10), isn't..?

ZAYED,,
