Bleed Valve Caps - Really?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I noticed when washing my wife's 2013 Touring yesterday that both of the rubber caps on the front calliper bleed fittings are missing. I'm sure they were there last wash, but anyhow...

I called two Nissan dealerships and both say the only way to buy these parts is to get the entire calliper rebuild seal kit - 401COL - at CDN$80 each side.

Is that really the case, or is there a way to just buy these boots/caps (whatever the proper name is) separately?

I'm starting to understand why they both went missing!

You can find bleeder caps at most auto parts stores. They are cheap and, IIRC, only come in 2-3 sizes.

Thank you - I did try Canadian Tire, but the person behind the counter was not the sharpest pencil in the case.

Will try another source in that case.

BTW, the caps at auto parts stores are usually generic. If you ask for a bleeder cap for a specific year/model car, it may confuse the person behind the counter.

I purchased a pack of 25 from Amazon and replaced them all the last time I did my pads.

Thanks for the info, everybody.
And the links. Although the same 25-pack on Amazon.ca is $55 (we get all the good deals up here, LOL).
