HELP - snapped bleed nipple in 2wd caliper
i bought a set of 2wd calipers a while age and only got round to stripping them today as i got new seal kits.
one of the bleed nipples has been snapped off, and i think its tried to be removed at some point cos it looks like there is something snapped off in the hole
it does sit slightly proud of the caliper 1-1.5mm ish
any one know any good ways of getting the bugger out?
cheers all

drill it out, an easy out screws into it using a reverse thread, so as it becomes tight it unscrews, but it will prob be rusted in use plenty copperslip on new one

sounds like an easy out in there, trouble is you have to use a really small one to get those fuckin bleed screws out, and they are brittle as hell and snap in there.
was in this exact same position last month mate, only option was new calipers...you won't get the fucker out imo
