I was experiencing brake fade and spongy pedal after some heated driving manoeuvres ( pun intended).Discs and pads good, so decided to change fluid.
.... Resulting in a sheared off nipple. Hardly applied much torque either.. For f sake!
Instead of drilling out and replacing the nipple I just drained the reservoir of its nasty brown liquid and refilled with some ATE super blue I had lying around and a dash of dot4.
How long will it take for this to mix around? If at all...
I know it's probably a lazy approach but I didn't want to a) only bleed one side, resulting in compressible liquid on one side but not the other. Or b) replace anything because I want to upgrade to 266mm discs/calipers/carriers soon
