Full details
This 5-piece set of Connect Brake Bleed Screws is designed for automotive mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to replace or service brake systems on compatible Ford and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The key benefit is ensuring a proper seal for effective brake bleeding, leading to reliable brake performance. A potential caveat is the specific size requirement (M8 x 1.25 x 49mm) which must match your vehicle's original equipment. Key features include precise M8 x 1.25 threading, a 49mm length, and direct OEM equivalence to part number 0004201755.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What vehicles are these brake bleed screws compatible with?
These screws are specifically designed for certain Ford and Mercedes-Benz applications and are equivalent to OEM part number 0004201755. Always verify your vehicle's specific requirements for thread size (M8 x 1.25) and length (49mm).
What is the recommended tool for these bleed screws?
A 9mm spanner is recommended for use with these M8 bleed screws. Laser Part No. 1553 is an example of a suitable tool.
Can I use these on any car?
No, these bleed screws have a specific size (M8 x 1.25 x 49mm) and are primarily intended for compatible Ford and Mercedes-Benz models. Using them on vehicles with different thread sizes or specifications could cause damage or improper sealing.
How many bleed screws are included in this set?
This is a 5-piece set, providing five individual brake bleed screws.
What does M8 x 1.25 x 49mm mean?
M8 refers to the metric thread size (8mm diameter). 1.25 refers to the thread pitch (1.25mm distance between threads). 49mm refers to the overall length of the screw.
Are these screws made of steel or stainless steel?
The product information does not specify the material, but typically such components are made from hardened steel for durability.
Troubleshooting
Screw is difficult to thread
Ensure you are using the correct thread size (M8 x 1.25) and that the caliper threads are clean and undamaged. Do not force the screw.
Brake fluid is leaking around the screw during bleeding
The screw may not be fully seated, or the threads may be damaged. Ensure the screw is tightened appropriately to create a seal. If leakage persists, the screw or caliper threads may be compromised and require replacement.
Screw head is stripping during tightening
Use the correct size spanner (9mm recommended) and apply steady, controlled pressure. Avoid excessive force. If the head begins to strip, cease tightening immediately and consider using a screw extractor if necessary.
Pros and Cons

- Direct replacement for specific Ford and Mercedes-Benz OEM parts.
- Durable construction for long-lasting use.
- Convenient 5-piece set for multiple applications or spares.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Ensure your vehicle's brake caliper bleed nipple matches the M8 x 1.25 thread size and requires a 49mm length screw. These are specifically equivalent to Ford and Mercedes-Benz OEM part number 0004201755. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for exact specifications.
Setup:
- Identify the correct brake caliper bleed nipple.
- Clean the area around the bleed nipple.
- Using a 9mm spanner (e.g., Laser Part No. 1553), carefully unscrew the old bleed screw.
- Install the new Connect Brake Bleed Screw, tightening it sufficiently to create a seal without overtightening, which could damage the caliper.
- Proceed with the brake bleeding procedure as per your vehicle's service manual.
Care: After use, clean any residual brake fluid from the screw. Store the unused screws in a clean, dry place to prevent corrosion or contamination. Inspect screws before each use for any signs of damage or wear.
