Longer bleeder screw?

[1sickdude]

I'm trying to bleed my rear brakes and the bleeder screw is so short that I can't fit the hose and wrench on at the same time. I'd like to add a longer bleeder screw. Do they make one, if so what size do I need? Please see photo and thanks for looking.

Here is the pic of the bleeder screw. I want to be able to connect my wrench and have a hose connect but the screw doesn't stick out far enough.

I use this type of wrench with offset.

Try another hose that isn't so thick. Typically when I bleed brakes the box wrench fits over the bleeder hose without interference. If this is some type of anomaly take the bleeder to the parts store and find something longer to accommodate.

I know Speed Bleeders can be bought in extended length to give more clearance.

^^ This. Thinwall hose, put it on the bleeder, then slip the wrench over the hose.
