Hi it seems to be RH side that seem to suffer the most with seized bleed screws i've found.
they are the same as dolomite calipers so i managed to find some of these.
Anyway got several calipers with broken bleed screws,i was told that maybe they could be lazered out,any ideas,they wont budge with easy-outs,or are they just heading for the scrap bin
Best regards
Barry

Hi had a set reconned this summer from a company called big red they did a good job, had no trouble getting out seized nipples but wouldn't touch the set with snapped nipples that i'd tried an easy out on.
