Had just fitted braded hoses and was just about to bleed the last caliper and the nipple snapped off! Bloody german cars!!!

Whats the best way to resolve this issue??

Do i need to reverse drill it out? or am i better off taking it off and somewhere?

Personally i'd pay to have it removed, or else it WILL cause lots of trouble if you fuck up the removal process! (speaking from experience )

get an extractor only about 8 quid from tool man or some where like that and just turn it anti clockwise with a tap wrench works just like when your tapping a hole but backwards so you can take the bolt out

Hmmm.... How easy is it once you get the tool? Could I fuck It up??

Just an excuse to add another tool to my collection!!

I guess any Garage should be able to remove it?

or just undo the flexi from the caliper a bit and bleed it through the flexi,have done this on numerous occasions

just chuck someone a tenner and they will get it out for you....

Machining shop or someone like that
