Brake bleed nipples ??

(1/3) > >>

cb750stu:
Hi Folks what size are the bleed nipples on my calipers just got some new ones and they are to big ??

Also the rear one is solid wont come out and rounded any tips on getting this out ??

Cheers Stu

Bryanj:
What year and model is it as they vary and are not car sizes!

As to the rear, it may release using heat on the caliper and clamping the nipple in a vice and turning the caliper off it BUT pump the piston(s) out first using the pedalor you will have hells own job removing them.

If the nipple shears opff i can do you a repair kit for it

Bryanj:
Thats the smaller of the two Honda sizes, rear should be same, they are available from Honda and some of the Honda cars use the same but not sure which.

Are the bleed nipple threads and seat OK in the caliper, If not you need a repair kit.

cb750stu:
Yeah the threads seem fine the calipers are in good nick i think the nipples around 5-6mm but could be wrong the new ones i got were around 8mm i think !!!

Cheers
