Could someone please tell me the thread size of a bleed nipple on the rear caliper of a 182.

I'd take a stab at being either 6 or 7mm.

7 i'd think but no idea for sure

Only really worth it if you use racing fluid that has to be changed more frequent, the standard stuff is changed roughly every 4 years so the standard nipples do the job fine. Im sure its 7mm.

I'm pretty sure its 8mm on the rear , it's definitely not 7mm .

8mm or 10mm i think

The cars out of warranty so i'll be changing the the brake fluid more often.

went sailing through an intersection (foot hard on brake) the other day, scared the pants off me, luckily there was no one coming the other way.

Changed the brake fluid and all is back to normal, trying to get the wife to pump the brake peddle and then keep pressing was like trying to get a chimp to do algebra.

So getting the speed bleeder nipples will be well worth the money.

an Easibleed DIY pressure bleeder would allow you to do it on your own - think they're £15-£20 in Halfords
