Well, managed to snap 3 bleed nipples today on my brake calipers
They are the chunky M10 ones, and have snapped off pretty much flush.
The first idea i have is as they are M10 and quite chunky, drilling out the centre to about half way down and left hand tapping a M6 thread, then get hold of a l/h bolt (or cut one more likely as cant find l/h bolts anywhere) and wind it in to hopefully wind out the old nipple.
At £60 a pop, dont really want to buy recon calipers
