i have a broken bolt (plastic) which is the bleed screw at the bottom of the housing
common fault i see
i did not want to pay £60+ for a housing just for the bottom part
SO i have made a replacement in steel
it took a bit of time to figure out but ive managed it and this one will last
1. remove the bottom base
2. remove the bleed part in the middle with a 10mm socket and the broken part stuck in the top
3. find a metal bolt to the same thread ideal length is important
4. drill and tap the plastic part to same thread
5. the bolt will hold the round part in with the O ring
6. refit ... done and it works fine
