Hi,

Firstly thanks for the replies for how to remove subborn ones but what are the specs as in sizes for brake bleed nipples for front and rear callipers?

Been told that stainless steel won't seize in calliper so thought I'd try that.

I think its m7x 1.0 can anyone confirm before I purchase please? Struggling to find out and I'm not anywhere near the car!!!!

Thanks...
