This is a detailed video showing how to avoid snapping a seized brake bleed nipple and what to do (and what NOT to do) if this happens to you.

The video shows how to use a hot induction rod to remove a steel bleed nipple from an aluminium caliper without damaging the lacquer or the caliper.

If you have snapped off a brake bleed nipple and intend drilling it out, this video will hopefully help you avoid some common mistakes.

Finally, the video shows how you can use a brake line union to make up your own insert if you have damaged the caliper seat whilst drilling out a seized bleed nipple..
