I might need this now, because:

Tell me about it: [Image: 12100627.jpg]:(
I probably should have chiseled the rusted nipple shaft first, then WD40, then wait, then chisel more, before just snapping like that.. Eh, experience..!

Now either a brake caliper replacement, or drill the nipple remainder out and put a new one in..
The car brakes way better after bleeding BTW, even when one (this) wheel left unbled.

One another thing I noticed (a mechanic) has cut off the wire coming out from brake pads - why?:
