Every Wilwood caliper, rotor, and brake accessory is designed and manufactured in the USA to meet the demands of street performance, road racing, and off-road competition. Wilwood's replacement hardware and consumables are engineered to the same standards as their OEM brake systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Wilwood WIL220-7496?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wilwood WIL220-7496 is a 1\/4-28 threaded bleed screw in black finish, used to seal the bleed port on Wilwood performance brake calipers after a brake bleed service. It is a genuine Wilwood replacement part sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat calipers does the WIL220-7496 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WIL220-7496 uses a 1\/4-28 thread pitch, which is compatible with a broad range of Wilwood performance calipers. Confirm your caliper's bleed port thread specification against 1\/4-28 before ordering. Wilwood publishes caliper thread specs in their technical documentation or customer service line at 805-388-1188.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this bleed screw come with a copper washer or seal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WIL220-7496 is a bleed screw only. A sealing washer or fitting may be required depending on your caliper model. Consult your caliper's service documentation or contact Wilwood for the correct sealing hardware if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this on calipers other than Wilwood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly, if the other caliper uses a 1\/4-28 bleed port thread. However, this is a genuine Wilwood replacement part and is engineered specifically to Wilwood caliper tolerances. Always verify thread compatibility before installation on non-Wilwood calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should bleed screws be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBleed screws should be inspected for thread damage, corrosion, or a compromised seal during every brake bleed. Replace immediately if the screw shows signs of cross-threading, rounded hex, or failure to seal. Keeping a spare on hand is recommended for trackday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the correct bleed screw for my Wilwood big brake kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WIL220-7496 is a 1\/4-28 bleed screw. If your big brake kit uses a different thread pitch, this screw will not fit. Refer to your kit's parts list or Wilwood's caliper specifications to confirm the correct bleed screw thread before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is my bleed screw leaking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA leaking bleed screw is usually caused by a compromised seat, cross-threading, or a missing or deteriorated sealing washer. Replace the WIL220-7496 bleed screw, inspect the caliper bleed port for thread damage, and use the correct sealing hardware before retorquing to Wilwood's specified torque value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is this product made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilwood manufactures its components in Camarillo, California, USA.
