My rear Brembos.
I`ve got my rear calipers back from the garage after them leaking brake fluid at the MOT. This is the condition....
A snapped bleed nipple
Stripped thread...
The bleed nipple which I previously had helicoiled has stripped.
And just generally look a bit tatty (well this one does)
I`ve expressed interest in a pair selling on here to replace the ones I was given, I`m just after some cash for my old ones.
Basically, is it worth getting them repaired? Opinions please
Oh and apparently I need new seals!!!

The seal kits are about £80-90 on their own
They are quite soft and I've often heard of them stripping the threads, but by time you buy a new bleed nipple, pay to helicoil the thread and buy the seal kit you won't get a lot back if you ask me

Godspeed sells bleed nipples.
Were they leaking from the seals, or the brake pipe union on the back, or was it that nipple? If you can do all that work yourself, fix it up. Not too many people will sell you one caliper, especially not for a reasonable price.

I know I won`t get one caliper, I need to buy a pair anyway to replace the ones I was given by the garage I use. All I want to do is try and sort these ones so I can recoup a few quid
