I just installed "speedbleeders" on my 1600. When I took the old valve out
and pulled the ball bearing out of the valve hole. There was a lot of rust
in the valve hole I had to clean out. Water must seep down the closed valve
hole and sit on top of the ball bearing and just rust away.
Love the old cars.

That is why I initally use a 6 point socket wrench to break the fittings
loose. They usually are frozen tightly after a long period of non use.
When you close the fittings, it is not necessary to torque the bleeder
valve; Just close it till it stops. Pat
