Replaces Broken Bleed Nipples In Under 5 Minutes

Nipple therapy – Replacement Bleed Nipple Kit

CLICK Photo to See the – U Tube Video

Working on brakes on older vehicles is probably one of the most unpleasant jobs a mechanic can do. Between seized bolts, sticky pistons, fiddly clips and springs and broken bleed nipples, he must wonder if the foreman still loves him when he is given a brake job.

The worst, of course, is a broken bleed nipple. A straightforward job stops dead when they shear off. Drilling out the remains of a broken nipple is rarely successful so a replacement is ordered.

The cost of the job increases, the ramp is tied up and a lot of other jobs run late.

Now Nipple Therapy is at hand to repair the damage and fit a new nipple in under five minutes.

1. Drill out the broken part of the old nipple.

2. Tap the new hole.

3. Screw in Nipple Therapy

Price.

Nipple Therapy Kit in wooden box £65.00 plus VAT.
