Title: 1993 M900 rear caliper bleed nipple: What is it? [update: found it!]
Post by: NFG on February 05, 2014, 09:04:12 PM
I'm an idiot.

I replaced my rear discs and pads, had to bleed the brakes a little, and didn't tighten the rear bleed nipple very well.  It vibrated loose and now it's gone...  With what do I replace it?  Trying to find a parts list or even caliper model numbers is defeating my google-fu.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Update: Found the answer, see third reply (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=66659.msg1230216#msg1230216).

 Sounds like a job for SpeedBleeders!

Thanks for the help, Speeddog, unfortunately I wasn't able to make that page load from Australia (though it's working today, strangely).  But in the meantime I made some progress. 

According to this page (http://www.thisoldtractor.com/gtbender/brembo.htm), the brembo rear caliper on the 1993 M900 is PartNo: 20.5161.42

Which led me to this PDF (http://www.totimport.com/downloads/brembo_oem/20516142.pdf%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%C5%BD) which has the breakdown for the caliper itself, including dimensions, and most importantly, the 'available spare parts'. 

The bleeder screw is PartNo: 105.3246.11
(the dust cover is PartNo: 205.1502.10)

The bleeder screw is described as 'F8 Style'.

So now I'm off to find a local source for this part.  And then I'm going to screw it in tightly.  =/

Not too tight!  Aluminum caliper, not very strong bleeder screw.  Maybe about 5 Nm. or about as tight as you would make something with a screwdriver.
