wen to get my brakes bled today and was told thats the caliper nipples are seized. the machanic didnt want to use force incase they snapped off. he recommened new calipers but they are subaru 4 pots and dot want to spend out on new calipers, same goes for the back.

Soaked them in WD40 and tried to knocke them but not luck

Can you remove the calipers and get them to Godspeed for refurbishment?

It's what I would do, splash out on some stainless pistons, they'll come back BETTER than new

And how about a big disc caliper kit, and 335mm discs..............

Plenty of wd40 over a few days then a bit of heat from a blow lamp usually does the trick.

Mate don't 'f' about, get them off the car and down to Ian. I'm in a bad situation now with my Brembos through nobodies fault but wish Ian could have looked first.

Yes as per my PM's , get them to me and I will do them the day I get them in , and straight back to you the next day so your car is off the road for the least amount of time.

If you get get the nipple out yourself , I can pop 2 new ones in the post for you to fit , try to undo them with a 6 sided socket , its not very often they do snap , just about all the ones we see here will come out , if you do have a blow torch , heating up the caliper around the nipple will certainly help , just dont set your car on fire !

Cheers Ian

SIX sided socket or spanner, remember! That is important.
