Bleed valve replacement and Hi-Miler hose set

[samrebel]

Here's a doozie for you guys: while I was flushing my brake lines with new fluid, I managed to round off the edges of the left rear bleeder valve. Does anyone have any idea how to replace this without losing a lot of brake fluid and having to bleed the whole system? Also I am replacing my leaking radiator, and I'm going to replace the radiator hoses at the same time. Does anyone know if the Goodyear Hi-Miler set for the 91-94 4.0 Ranger will fit a 4.0 ohv explorer?

You shouldn't lose too much brake fluid by taking off the brake line. I've replaced both rear wheel cylinders without having to touch the front. The fact that the other end of the lines is closed off holds the brake fluid in for the most part.

No idea about the hoses though.

The coolant hoses *should* work.
