Title: bleed nipples seized Post by: bill on 17 May, 2009, 06:39:18 PM hi, progress on the welding has come to a stop due to an injury to my shoulder. I am unable to get under the car, so I have decided to start work on the brakes and other jobs until such times I can carry on with the welding ( 90%) complete.
I have the caliper removed and on the work bench, can anyone please give me any tips as to remove the seized nipples, would heat be any good ? I am worried in case I may damage any seals. look forward to hearing from anyone. thank you bill.

The other option is to buy recon from Omicron. Tim Title: Re: bleed nipples seized Post by: nistri on 21 May, 2009, 02:56:43 PM A cooling and penetrating spray (shock and unlock) is also sold by Halfords.
