[V6-12v] broken bleed screw for hwater hose

[Tom Christiansen]

Clive,

The same thing has happened on mine (before I bought it). Whoever broke the 
screw just took it out completely and replaced it with something that looks 
like a #10 screw with a wide head. I think there's a nut on the back as 
well. It works just fine. I have since treated it with some sealing 
compound just to make sure that it would seal right.
