    Either way be careful, bleed nipple snap 99.9% of the time so you might want to replace the lines and end up with calipers too.

    If its the flexi's it's easy, if it's the lines it's not that hard and I have the tools to make them up. We'll talk when I see it

    Bobbys job. Done all my brake lines . You can buy the brake line from local motor factor 10 mtrs for around a tenner. Get a flare kit . Cheap for 15-20 quid and some new nipples, and adapters . Prob 4-5 quid in total.30-40 quid and a few hours under the car job done . Cross fingers that your nipples come out or you talking 80 quid a caliper. . I took mine to a chap who welded on a washer to the broken nipples and after a few attempts twisting the bent up washer out they came. I put stainless ones back in with a blob of copper slip and bought some nipple covers off foe bay for a couple quid.
