Any tips for undoing rear bleed nipples on calipers?
#8
wire brush to get any crap off

soak in pentrating oil

put an 8 sided socket over and tap the end of the socket or the end of the nipple a fair bit to help break and corrosion + puts a bit of heat into it

put a little bit of pressure clockwise on the ratchet - again just to help break any corrosion

Then go with trying to undoe it - tend to go similar as Paul with this. Little ratchet I'll hit end with my palm to undo rather than leaning on it with a breaker bar.


But yeah, they break!
