Brake bleed nipple size

[DomP182]

I'm looking to replace the rusty bleed nipples on both my 182 and our 05 scenic when I service the brakes. Anyone know what sizes I need short of me buying more sizes than I need?

M7 x 1.00mm. These won't rust.

Thanks mate, don't suppose you know if that's the same for the scenic? Seem to think they have a different size front to back

I don't know mate . I only know they fit a 182.

I think I'm going to have fun getting the scenic ones out, they are grim. Been watching youtube vids to learn some techniques for removing seized bleed screws

Give them a good soaking in WD40 for a day or 2 . Take your time with the spanner . If they're tight try mole grips but if they're that tight they might shear off , then you'll need some screw extractors. Good luck :up:

I've seen people putting the smooth end of the correct size drill bit down them to prevent the thread collapsing

Sorry for the thread revival!! Do the front and rear calipers have the same size bleed nipples?

Cheers
