Normally, you just unscrew it for one turn or so, since threads part is 
axially slotted, the air bleeds through the slot, but strongly advise 
you not to touch it. Because the "O" ring seal is on the top flat side 
ot the bleeder body, it would definitely leak if it brakes, because the 
slot extents to the top. If it brakes, its new hose time, screw on its 
own one can't bye. Rather do it the standard procedure.
