Thread: Brake Bleed Nipple

In the past I have removed rounded items by trying differing size sockets until i find one thats a little smaller than required, then gently tap it into place......Has worked many times just remember that you do need to use 6 point sockets which at that size should not be a problem

Thanks Kev, I'll give it a go.

Are the brake bleed nipples a standard item or do they require purchase from a LR place? ie, does anyone know where I might find a replacement? (I've tried Google but I can't seem to get an answer if they're standard. I suspect they're not )

Cheers,
Steve

I've used vice grips on bleeder screws in the past.
It'll kill the screw and you're up the creek if you shear the top off
Any brake sevice should have a varierty of bleeder screws on hand.

Sometimes using a pipe spanner can help with stripped bolts/ nuts . Or if your using socket use single hex not multiple hex .

Hope that helps
