Post subject: | Broken brake bleed nipples |
I've started to rebuild my metro callipers that have been stored for some time on passenger side one of the bleed nipples has broken off on the otherside all 3 have.i was doing a job for a bloke who used to own a toolmaking business and has an awsome workshop at home so i got him to carefully(tried easyouts first) drill them out for me but when he did it ballsed up the threads(can't complain he was trying to do me a favour) any ideas on what i can do or would be the best kind of person to fix it. ![]() cherrs Andy |

There was a kit for fixing stripped bleeders, it was a tapered plug that you screw into the stripped thread on the caliper and the tapered plug has a small bleeder in it. Spare parts places used to sell them. I found one on the net... ![]() http://www.agriemach.com/product_info.php?products_id=867 http://www.agriemach.com/product_info.php?products_id=868 |
