If you have one that's stripped out and the caliper threads are OK, I'd use 
Speed Bleeders, available about anywhere. There are two types; one is extra 
long on the bottom so it may not fit inside a caliper without extra work. 
If the threads in the caliper are also torn up, Speedway Motors in NE sells a 
$10 repair kit consisting of a bleeder screw and a brass fitting threaded 
in std pipe. You drill out the roached hole in the caliper, clean the bits 
out of the hole, screw in the pipe adapter with Lock-tite, and the new bleeder 
then seats on it in stock manner. FWIW- J Deryke
