Just finished refurbing my rear calipers and fitting new pads all round had to bleed the brakes got to the drivers front and the piece with the thread in that holds the nipple just snapped off when I was re tightening the nipple and I was being very careful ,I don't think it's possible to fix the problem looks like another caliper is required ,so if anyone has an old caliper that they no longer require please get in touch ,need to get car mot .:(

That makes a change. I am the master of broken calipers, that is to say i have had 4 brake. All on the passenger side. On the bit were nipple screws in. Its were people tightened them up to much. If getting 2nd hand one, ask seller to undo nipple before you buy it. Sorry i dont have a spare.
