Title: brake master bleed nipple sheared off
Post by: Privateer on June 02, 2024, 03:44:24 PM
was trying just a simple fluid flush which I've done before a dozen times.  The bleed nipple was stuck so trying to break it free, it sheared off.

are the nipples universal or do I need to know more about the size/thread pitch?

More than one size, I don't remember what size are on those Brembos.  The remainder should come out threads intact with an easy out.  Bleeder metal is very soft.

based on the choices at Bevel Heaven I think I need "Bleed Screw - M6 x 1.0 fits dual F08, F05, P32 etc"

i'll be honest and confess I have no idea what the numbers and letters mean between that and Bleed Screw - M10 x 1.0 Standard - Single F08, P108, 40mm 30/34 Single Pin etc
but based on the pictures I think mine is the M6.
