Default Bleeder valve question

Need to replace a brake bleeder valve on my 07....front. Anyone know the oem part number. I've looked everywhere and can't find it. Don't want the speed bleeders just the oem replacement. Thanks in advance for your help. C5 XTC

Have you tried places like NAPA or CarQuest? Even places like AutoZone or O'Reilley's should have them or be no more than a day away.

At a dealer, they shouldn't cost very much. I would think the C5/C6 caliper bleed valve should be relatively generic across the GM lineup (i.e. not Corvette-specific).

I was able to get them through my chevy dealer. Wanted to avoid that as dealer prices for parts are usually much higher than online sources, but these were not. My local Federal auto does not even stock bleed valves anymore....locally or in their warehouse. Must not be a big call for replacements. Thanks.
