Bleed nipple snapped off Brembo caliper :(

[Rob_DC5]

I went to bleed the brakes as they haven't been done in a while, undid the inner bleed nipple fine, went to undo the outer bleed nipple and it snapped clean off. Base of nipple still secure in caliper and holding pressure fine.

I wont risk driving it just incase it fails. Anyone know where I can get this repaired???

Drivers side Brembo caliper.

Thanks Rob

I did exactly the same mate, sent mine to a place called pro callipers, just check their website out.

Got it back within 2 days no problems. Very good service! Also got 4 new stainless bleed screws off them!

Would recommend!

Exactly the same thing happened to mine.

Mine was an expensive fix....

Plan is to sell the originals for around 300.

Godspeed brakes repair the calipers too.

Is this the Megane Setup and if so does it fit under the OEM wheels?

No, this is the reyland motorsport ap racing kit.

Yes it does fit under the oem wheels.
