I did a front brake upgrade to VR6 spindles and calipers, yada yada yada, and I proceeded to do a brake fluid change. Well, I never thought that clutch bleed nipple would be made of plastic. So, I loosen it, press the clutch, tighten it and it starts cracking...I'm like, what was that noise...tighten harder and SNAP.
I might be able to take it out with a bolt extractor, but what to replace it with? Are they the same as any other bleed screw?
Till now I didn't think to remove one from my old calipers and try it, but I also don't want to disable my car if this doesn't work. As of right now, I need to bleed and flush the clutch, but it's still working and it's not leaking.
So, what size nipple, and where to get one?
Thanks!
