I take it you stripped it out of the caliper? You might have to go buy a new caliper for it. Probably pick one up for about $35 from PepBoy's. There will be a ~$12-18 core too.

Stripped bleeder

Time for a replacement caliper. Autozone has pretty good prices on lifetime guaranteed calipers.

Click to expand...

If its just that you rounded the valve trying to get it off you shopuld be able to get a replacement at any auto parts store. To get the stripped one out just put some vice grips on it and turn it the correct direction.

Lefty loosy. LOL
