Looking for advice whilst trying to bleed front brakes after some work I have stripped threads on Front Brembo caliper any suggestions on how to fix this
Thanks

Bleed nipple threads or carrier bolts?

Bleed nipple thread

OK, so. Bear with me

Nipple Therapy

It's an actual repair kit, with a drill bit, appropriate sized tap and new bleed nipples to drill out and reseal

Not seen this before, care to post your source?

@Pat:

To stop this happening again and next time trashing your calipers:
Take each new bleed nipple, and very carefully wrap each with 3 to 4 turns of PTFE tape, being very careful not to let any stray tape get anywhere near the inner part of the nipple (where the brake fluid is)
This will provide a dielectric barrier between the two dissimilar metals, and prevent the galvanic corrosion from welding the steel nipples to the aluminium caliper body.

I have done this for years, and it just works.  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Brake nipple repair search on eBay gives a variety of results including the therapy thing pictured, at 85 quid! Nielsen do a similar looking kit for 24 quid and big red (good supplier) do a kit with helicoils and all the tooling for 15 quid.

Iv'e just replaced all my bleed nipples for titanium ones to stop this happening. To get my steel nipples out I applied heat to the calliper around the nipple from my heat gun & they loosened a treat. 2010 RR Autobiography 5.0 SC

Or just use aluminium high temp anti seize on the threads. Can also be used on back of pads, hub to alloy interface, injector threads, glow plug threads, anywhere there’s an aluminum to steel connection or height temp use like exhaust nuts.

Any decent brand will do.
