Hi there, this is my first post on honda-tech, but i've been using honda-tech for years now. I have a 4dr, 4cyl 2000 honda accord and my coolant bleeder screw snapped off and I am in need of a new one. Does anyone know what the size of the coolant bleeder screw is? Thanks!

 

It should be more or less universal. The size of the head that you put the socket on should be 12mm. You can try the junkyard.

 

I just checked to be sure and yes they are all the same from 1990 to 2002. Hopefully you have a junkyard in your area. You can get one from any accord during those years and they are plentiful.

Did you break the coolant bleeder valve when trying to tight it down? Were you able to completely remove the bleeder valve before installing the new one?

Most junk yard will not remove/sell any parts (sensor, valve, etc) on the engine, because they could sell the complete engine to other Buyers. I wouldn't waste time and gas to go to the junk yard for it. Just go to any Honda or maybe Acura dealership, and buy it at the parts department for under $12. Part #: 19516-PC1-000

 

I actually didn't just break only the screw, but i broke some part of the metal that the screw was actually supposed to be screwed into. I'm thinking of replacing the whole part but i'm not too sure what the part is. Is it the water pump?? Cause that would be a miracle. I'm not sure if my details are clear, but I can upload a picture to be more specific. And also do you know where the bleeder screw is depicted in the links you've posted?

 

Yes, I broke the coolant bleeder valve when tightening it down. I didn't expect it to break because I wasn't using too much force. Do you happen to know the name of the part that the "bleeder screw" is actually "screwed" into? And is it a part of the engine?

 

Do you think I can get the screw from the hardware store?

 

These are the pictures of the coolant bleed screw that has broken off and the part where the coolant bleed screw is "screwed" into has broken off as well. About a quarter inch of the part where the screw is "screwed" into has been cut off when trying to tighten the bolt. Does anybody know if the name of the part is "thermostat case"? I want to switch out the whole part rather than the screw itself since I took a piece of the part off with the screw.

 

Just remove & replace your thermostat case and bleeder valve.

Thermostat Case part# 19320-P0A-010 $25 at the dealership.
Bleed Valve Bolt part# 19516-PC1-000 $11 at the dealership.

 

Thanks! I just ordered it. I'll be more careful this time and hopefully it won't break.

 

LOL wuhwut ?

Everyone please ignore this advice. This is not how junkyards work. At all. Period. End of story.

Not really sure how this guy came to this conclusion but it is totally and factually WRONG.

 

You just blew about $30 on something you could have got for $4.00 at the junkyard.

Obvious that guy works at the dealership and is just trying to push money in their direction.

 

It's very funny how you assumed I'm working at a dealership, and I assume you're working at a junk yard

I'm a tech. I don't get pay selling parts.
FYI: He's get new genuine parts, and not used rusted parts from the junk yard that has the potential to be broken again

 

The difference is that I'm not giving out false information.
