Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was bleeding the brakes on my 996 Turbo after the Anglesey Track day. However all the inner bleed nipples seem to be seized, I tried WD40 over a couple of days but eventually broke one. Obviously the OPC service lot have only been bleeding the outer nipples which work OK. I will be replacing discs & a brake overhaul over the Winter, so has anybody any suggestions for exacting the nipples? I have done plenty on steel calipers with screw extractors or drilling out, but not expensive Porsche Calipers! I presume it will be steel nipples in Alloy calipers? (Alternatively do I need to use these bleed nipples at all and just use the outer ones?) Thanks, Stephen

Had just the same, Stephen. I write for Total 911 each month and did an article on it. If you give me your email address I'll send it to you. Meanwhile the guy who solved it all is to be found here: Fraser Brown Engineering in Scotland www.fraserbrowneng.co.uk] Best.. Ray
