Hey guys.

As per title... bleeding the brakes... the bleed nipple on the rear wheel has snapped inside... how annoying.... what options have i got here before i start crying....

Replace the slave cylinder , if you cannot remove the broken nipple .

In the past I have bled from the union into the wheel cylinder.
This was in an emergency as a new cylinder is only £15 or thereabouts.

Makes sense. Is it a case of just taking drum off... swapping them over??

As simple as that .
But dont forget things can and do go wrong

I only did the backs as i thought i might aswell check if the whole system needed bleeding after changing the front calipers...wish i hadn’t bothered.... its cost me a fortune in postage for parts for a constantly added list of parts...
