Started looking at my calipers yesterday. So my bleeder wouldn't flow when I opened it..... do you guys replace them or is there a product you use to clean them out?

You can replace them or just clean the whole out by hand with a small drill bit.

If they're really chewed up, you can but new ones at most any auto parts store as well.  :cheers:

 take caution when replacing your original bleeder screws, I went to Napa and they had some listed for my car and they didn't fit properly, tried four different sets, they look identical, but the angles were slightly off I suppose..

Often the pressure created by just pressing the brake pedal hard will clear the bleeders , but still good to us a drill bit by hand to clear the dirt out
