Default stripped brake bleed screws

I tried to install Earl's solo-bleeders... turns out I had the wrong parts and it stripped the threads on the calipers...


Aside from replacing the caliper, is there anything else I can do ? I was thinking of just retapping the threads but I would have to use bigger brake bleeders... not sure if I can do that...

Dude that sucks. best bet is a new used caliper. call up Woodfins (VA) at 800-223-4663 or Olstens (NE) at 402-467-4541. One of them shoud be able toget you a caliper quickly... I assume (and hope) tha you are not driving your accord around in this condition.
