Brake bleed nipple spec....

[BHadley]

Hi....

One brake bleed nipple moves great.... Other side not so.. Guess that the set need new......

Please, What sizes / specs do I need and is stainless better or no advantage then mild steel?

Any good links to suppliers other than eBay would be great too!

Disc brakes all round if it makes a difference...

Thanks

I would try soaking it in PlusGas releasing agent overnight, then perhaps also use a blowlamp (with care on brake calipers!) to help free it off.

However, if it breaks off, you may need to use an Eezi-out or even carefully drill it out, being careful not to cut into the threads.

They come in various lengths, but most modern ones use the same thread and a 10mm spanner size. Most motor factors stock them.

BMW still sell them too - I think they were around £5-6 a piece.
