Long story short, last bleed nipple to do and it snapped, what are my options how am I to remove it? The brakes are all bled and working and it's not leaking it's just snapped off, how would I go about getting it out? Would it be okay to drive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'd get the caliper off and get it in a vice. Might be worth investing in a LH thread extraction kit. Bit of time, patience and heat will probably see it come out. Worth replacing all the nipples when you re bleed the system they're only a few quid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wouldn't drive it, no. I know you say it's not leaking but how can you be sure it won't when putting a few hundred bar of pressure into the system? You need to get a screw extractor in there and hope it will come out, then replace.
Does anyone know the thread size for the brembos? I want stainless ones all round.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I understand this is quite a common problem due to them rusting if they don't have the covers on them. Hence why you should either replace them if there is any sign of rust or get them covered! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Steel into aluminium is the usual reason - galvanic corrosion weakens the nipple. It's worth replacing the nipples when bleeding the brakes or refurbishing them imo.
