Caliper Bleed Nipple Size?

[Tommy_318is]

Hi all,

Sorting my 318is out at the moment going through a major service before the major work starts. Doing a brae bleed found 3 of my nipples completely rounded off was wondering if anyone new the size of these on our cars as im pretty sure its the same setup on cars with rear discs.


Thanks in advanced

Tom

Size of the hexagon or the thread? Hex is 8mm thread is 7mm

To be honest i porobably need all the details may be best to order one and measure up to then order others for a bit cheaper. So in theory itd be M7 with 8mm head is that front and rear?

Thanks dan

I just ordered some for my e30.

I am using e36 m3 front calipers and e36 318ti rear calipers.

They only cost me a few quid from BMW and seem to be universal...

Happy days.

Yea i checked with parts at work and it was either 5.15 before discount or 5.15 with the disount (im hoping not), ive ordered them throgh bigg red as ive used em before and 1.50 ish each that'll do me fine. Funny thing is the nipple on the clutch slave worked out 2 quid from bm

Was told their the same across the range.
