Default brake bleeder crossthread>?

i was just wondering what it means when my bleeders are crossthread, somebody told me that;s why i can't get my brakes to work even though they have been bleed a few times. could any of you tell me how to fix this, cause i can't even drive my car. I have been searching everywhere for the answer. hopefully you can help. thank you

the best thing to do is run a tap thru the hole I don't know what size they are but that is what I would do use a bottoming tap if possible and check the threads on the bleeders if they are bad get some new ones they are usually pretty cheap If you don't know use a thread gage that will tell you the pitch and just mic or measure the dia of the threads that will give you the dia or just take one of the bleeders to a part store to match it up

there is no reason they should loosen on their own
