In the process of changing the brake fluid on my car i have managed to shear a bleed nipple in the front caliper i have tried to get the nipple out using a stud extractor but i can't seem to move it. Does anybody know where i could take my caliper to have the nipple removed.

Thanks for your help

Be carefull not to snap the easy out off otherwise the calipers will be scrap , its nigh on impossible to get one of them out with out buggering the caliper up.
I can repair this for you if your stuck , but you would have to send the caliper down to me

Try giving it a good soaking with WD40 over 24 hours and then try extractor again. As Ian wisely points out don't break the extractor. If you have the caliper on the bench you could carefully drill out most of it and then pick out the thread, but this is a bit like brain surgery on the kitchen table.

try making a little wall of of plasticene or similar around the nipple and filling it with WD40 or similar ....leave it like that for a few hours or ovenight even,
then drain it and THEN try an EZI-out
