Bleed nipples,which ones ?
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:48 pm
Just bought myself a set of G60 callipers and disks ,was due to be fitting them over the weekend.On Friday night I decided to check that both bleed nipples were free, before getting all the w3ay over to my mates and finding out that they were seized in place..
One came out fine, the other one unfortunately sheared off flush with the calliper
, to make matters worse I snapped off the tip of the ezi out inside it.
Tried to weld a nut onto the bit which was sticking out,but that was not up to it either and came off too..
Took the calliper to a mate this morning,and he managed to drill it out for me, just left a tiny coil of thread in there,which I managed to get out this arvo, think it will need a tap running down it, just to clean it up a bit, but it does not look too bad...
What I need are a couple of new bleed nipples, tried my local Vindis, who were not really much help, need the reg of the car they came off, which I have no way of getting, as they were fitted to a mk1 golf, before I bought them...
Any info greatly appreciated, and would also appreciate a link or something, Assuming they are 8mm ? But that's just a guess..
Cheers folks
