#2: Re: Brakes!!! Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:47 am ---- nope....... best get it fitted with a new wheel cylinder. They are not very expensive
#3: Re: Brakes!!! Author: Tann206, Location: LancashirePosted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:50 am ---- will i not need to bleed the brakes after refitting the new cylinder though?
#4: Re: Brakes!!! Author: dj71, Location: durham ukPosted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 11:59 am ---- yer, the new cylinder will have a new bleed nipple

Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Sun Apr 15, 2012 1:10 pm ---- You can mess about for ages trying to get the old nipple out but they are buggers once seized and broken. By a new cylinder (as above they are not expensive) and a brake hose clamp as that will minimise fluid loss and make bleeding the system much easier.
New cylinders can be bought for less than £15 - definitely not worth faffing about with the old one.
