Description
The Thexton Disc Brake Bleeder Screw (563) is an essential specialty tool for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. This kit provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for a common and frustrating problem: a broken or seized bleeder screw.

The Thexton 563 kit eliminates this need by allowing you to fix the problem directly. It is designed to create a new, functional port for a replacement bleeder screw, saving you money and getting your vehicle back on the road faster.
