Bleeder valve knob replacement?

 

M25XP bleeder valve sheered off with some of the stem/bolt. Not really something I use too much, but would like to replace it. Having a hard time figuring out a part number, I think the knob/stem/bolt are all one piece.

Give the guys at TOADD Marine a call. That's where I got mine. They'll get you the correct /part unit for your engine. The knob, stem and valve are one piece and one part number.
About $35.00.....Bill

Hi Friends,

Bill beat me to it. I had to replace ours as well. Here is the link to the specific page.

Easy to replace. There you go.

I’ll say me too for Toad on that part. Be sure and get new copper washers or anneal those in a 200 oven for a couple hours - then turn off and cool in oven without opening the door ( wait till the wife is out shopping for a few hours. 

Edit. I was thinking 200C which is about 400F.  Some folks advocate cherry red, others sanding with 220 on a flat surface till dead flat. Best is new

Wow, thanks! I won't wait for the wife. I'll surprise her and tell her the smell is dinner. ;)
