Hi all,
I spent the day flushing my brakes and I have to say I think it went well. When I was done I drove around the neighborhood a bit and everything felt solid. Hopefully, I wont have any surprises later.

Anyway, I had a little bit of a hard time getting off the front bleed screws. But they eventually did loosen. In the process they got a little chewed up. I would like to change them so that in 2 years when I have to do this again I wont have any problems getting them off. Is it plausible to do this? What should I look out for? Do I need to pinch off any lines? Obviously I don't want to introduce any air. Is there something special I should do?

I am assuming I can order new screws directly from Volvo.

Many thanks!
