Brake caliper broken bleed valve problem

Postby Adamal » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:58 am

So say someone has over tightened the bleed taps on your brake caliper by about a million NM and they've snapped off and left half the valve inside.

Is it difficult to get them out?? Would it be fairly cheap to get a pro to do?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

To be safe a caliper is fairly easy to cart about, If you can have an experienced person do it, I would.
