My brake bleed screws are all pretty rusty, so when I get to doing a brake overhaul I am going to replace them all. I always assumed they are M8 x 1.25mm, however somebody told me to be careful because they are M8 x 1.0mm, which incidentally are very uncommon.
I can't really look at my old ones because they are still in the calipers, and there is not enough exposed thread to measure (besides, they are pretty rusted up!) and I doubt they will be re-usable after removing anyways) and since this car is my daily I need to get new ones before I remove the old ones.
So, does anybody know the answer for sure? Are they the common M8 x1.25, or the much more obscure/rare M8 x1.0?
Thanks
