Split Nipples

[dswarwick]

Yes it's painful!

Replacing my brake fluid last night in preparation for Bruntingthorpe on 31st. All fine except drivers side front bleed nipple sheared off.

Looks like I can get a replacement caliper from a scrappy for ~£35 but first I'm going to try and replace the bleed nipple in the current caliper.

Anyone had any experiences with this? Drill out or stub extractor? Anyone know the correct dimensions for the replacement part?
