willcolumbine Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I had serious nipple problems on my car when I refurbed the brakes. The PO had snapped off both the rear nipples and one of the fronts. I just bought new cylinders for the rear but had to drill out the front. Unfortunatly it wasn't my lucky day and the drill bit caught broke off in the nipple leaving me with some serious problems! My advice to you would be to take it real slow with the drill and maybe think about using an extractor type tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
