Brembo P08 - broken bleeder

Hi Guys.

Reconditioning the front brakes on our 750 Sport round case and twisted off one of the bleeders, our brakes are mounted in front of the forks. Tried using an "esi-out" to remove bleed nipple but.... you guessed it, broke the "esi-out" off in it so now we are really stuck.

Does anyone have a right hand side (same side as brake lever) inner half of the brake caliper with bleeder removed or not stuck in? Any idea where I can source on of these?

We are in Perth, Australia.

Cheers.

Bummer, though I assume you have the old-style caliper with the small bleeder bolts. the later ones have a larger size bleeder on account I assume, of just this problem. You can get the EZ out removed with a process called "spark erosion", but it will probably end up costing you a lot more than getting a new, later style caliper. If you really want to keep it original then maybe it's worth it, otherwise a new one is about $130 US from a number of places in N America and I'd assume in Australia too. Road & Race perhaps?

Looks like spark erosion it will be.
