Pulling my LR4 out of the garage to head to the beach after driving a bunch in traffic this morning. See a puddle on the garage floor, go to investigate, determine it was coolant (soapy feel), truck is running, kids inside, hot as hell. Pop the hood and see coolant bubbling out of the upper bleed screw. Tap the screw with my finger, head pops off and I have a full on fountain of coolant gushing.... Covering me from waist up and the entire engine bay. Drive truck back into garage, shut it down. Towel, wipe down, pull the old LR3 out of the garage... arggh!

Anyway, ordered a couple of these plastic bleeder screws. Can anyone help advise on the PN of the hose? I can't seem to locate it, just in case I can't extract the remainder of the screw.

BTDT. Haha.

Do a search. The brass parts that will work have been posted here before.

Advance Auto also stocks a plastic screw that will work.
