[kniterider]

right peeps, just fitted braided hoses to the 16v today, started to bleed system got all the way round got to the last corner (o/s front) and the bleed nipple is stuck!!! arrrrggghhhhhhhh!!!!, 11mm just spun off, so files flat to take a 10mm and same again, tried mole grips etc but dont wannna snap it off, any i deas for removal??? ( i checked it wasnt lh thread, it looked like rh thread from what i could see, and the car i took the hoses off and put my old ones onto was a normal right hand thread on that caliper so must be the same!!

any ideas would be great for undoing this!!, i aint paying no joey to snap it off and charge me the earth, as doin the brakes is a d.i.y job!!

Try banging an AF socket over the top of it , or try a stud extractor.
I would remove the caliper altogether first then try heat on the nipple.
Good luck mate

may as well leave on car and just take wheel off!!, think ill go for the blow torch aproach then!!, i aint got a stud extractor to hand so ill give the socket banging bit ago 1st then crank up the blow torch!! hope it comes out!! mr sponge bob brakes at mo!!!,oh yeah whilst your on 6' which way do i adjust the rear brake bias now ive lowered it (it was standard),???, towards the beam or away?? when otu testin em (even thoguh spongey) the rears were starting to lock up so i guess the car thinks peeps in the back!!

Hello Gaz.
If the rears are locking up then you need to adjust the regulator so there is less tension in the spring.
The closer the lever is to the rear axle(the more the spring is compressed) , the less restriction there will be to the rear brakes.
Hope that helps mate
