Where to buy brake bleeder screws / valves?

[E3Oggy]

As per subject, I'm hoping somebody can advise me accordingly on this. I'm currently in the process of renovating trailing arms and callipers for a rear disc conversion but the bleed screws on both sides are totally seized. I've tried plenty of WD40, heat, taps with the hammer etc etc but no luck. I think my only option is to drill them out and replace. The only suppliers I can find seem to be in the states and total cost with shipping seems unreasonable considering the nature of the part. Is there a UK supplier anybody knows of?
Thanks in advance,

Oggy

A local motor factors should keep them in stock.

Failing that eBay.

I should have added that I've tried several local motor factors (inc. EuroCarParts, UniParts) and specialist hydraulics centre and eBay - all with no luck...

What thread size are they?

I bought mine from BMW last year, surely they are still available? I think they were about a fiver per valve.

Item 5, part number: 34 11 1 153 197

By the way, this is for 325i facelift rear brakes, not sure which ones you need.

P.S. The Cooper BMW has been "in maintenance" for a while now? Can't check the prices for parts there any more?

What kind of / how much heat? I've found a butane torch makes things much simpler!

I used these as bleeder valves

You want B682, I think.

These guys supply them.

But I would have thought they're not too pricey from the dealers.
