Wonder if this would work on broken off brake nipples on calipers.

Going to try it on a 750K7 caliper

Interesting ash, and seems like a miracle to a awkward problem

That looks simple. I'm thinking though that the caliper has a metal insert at the bottom of the thread for the nipple to butt up against, it's a sort of conical hat affair IIRC. Or maybe I just imagined that bit, been a while since I've done one.

Possibly right ... I  will bung a magnet down a good one 1st

The 750 has an insert where the metal pipe goes in but not the 500 and I don't think either have an insert on the bleed nipple
