What you saw as "O-ring" is probably remnants of loop holding sealing rubber cap on outside. If you look closely at "O-ring", it has square cross-section, not round?


I took a picture of the bleeder screw but somehow it didn't get uploaded to the image site and lost the photo, I'll try and post a pic for anyone that runs across the same issue as me in the future.

When I'm back in my garage tomorrow I'll link a picture.

Sidenote: how do I put an image up so that it shows up directly on the forum thread reply, vs a separate link that opens the picture? I've tried using the image icon button on the advanced reply page but when I used that button I can't see the image on my post
