    I have a 2003 360 Modena - passenger front INNER brake bleeder valve - absolutely no fluid coming out when using vacuum hand pump to extract, the passenger outer bleeder valve has no problems extracting brake fluid, so would think this would rule out the rubber brake hose line and the cross-caliper brake line under the caliper...when I remove the passenger inner brake bleeder valve there is brake fluid to the top of the hole and it begins to run out...am hoping the $6 replacement bleeder valve I ordered from Algar Ferrari fixes the problem - all other wheels I had no issues....in addition before I started this winter project had no warning lights of any type on the dash....was curious if anyone had any other thoughts?

    It sounds like the bleeder screw is just plugged with debris. Just take two drill bits of the correct sizes and run one through the end (by hand) and the other through the small hole in the side to clear it out. Blow with some compressed air and you should be good to go. No need for a new bleeder. Have a helper put their finger over the bleeder hole in the top of the caliper so the fluid doesn't run all over the caliper while you have the screw out.
