Just spent yet another unfruitful hour searching for this topic related to HMMWVs (NOT Deuces, NOT M1008s, CUCVs or all manner of other posts NOT dealing with HMMWVs). aua

Don't think it's me, the search function on this site is a little hard to narrow down even from within the forum searching threads, topics, etc. I use duckduckgo for pretty much everything else (no Google, if NSA wants my search history they'll have to work a little harder, or just ask).

Question IS: does anyone know for sure which - if any - of the russell speed bleeders will fit a '92 M1038? Front AND Rear?

I can pretty much figure the front ones based on the aftermarket '88 AMC Eagle brake caliper. Napa carries them and bleeders https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NDP6751565. Dorman makes them PN 12701), but trying to find an exact number for the REAR is proving time-consuming as none of the sites show AMG/Hummer listed.

1st edit:

From NSN-now.com:

http://www.nsn-now.com/Indexing/PublicSearch.aspx for PN 5578802

Tells me thread size is same, but OAL? Not sure how to decipher details.

2d edit:

Never mind. When all else fails, LOOK AT THE MANUALS!

PN 5578802 is shown for both front AND rear calipers with a caveat on the rear: BLEEDER VALVE,HYDRA REAR,USBL EFF [truck serial number] 44825 AND ABOVE.

I'll just leave this here for anyone who may be looking for the same topic.
