bleed nipple broke. :( help

[samg1988]

What a rubbish day. Raining non stop and my bleed nipple broke on the rear driverside caliper. It was brand new as well!


Luckily I'ts attatched to another bolt before meeting the caliper. Does anyone know what this bolt is called? Ill need to find a replacement.

Can I use this bolt as a 'bleeder' until I find a replacement? The snapped nipple is stuck fast inside it.

Advice much appreciated!

hehe, nipple.

I'm not really sure what you mean, but when i broke one in the bay i just used a bolt into it instead.
