Brembo caliper info needed

[Stewart H]

I have a sheared off bleed nipple in the rear caliper, it appears to be screwed into a steel hex bolt, which in turn is srewed into the caliper body, has anyone removed this large bolt or will I destroy the caliper?

I'm pretty sure it's just an adapter, but you may need a bit of gentle heat to get it out, it's prolly loctited in

The large nut ( bleed nipple holder) just unscrews. there's a rubber O ring inbetween it and the caliper body.

BMW don't sell the holder,just the nipple, so if you feck itupgetting out the bleed nipple BMW will sell you a new caliper.

But there is another option - Stainless steel bleed nipple and holder . In fact,get it anyway, far superior. Got one on my bike
