Dont you just hate it when the nipple brakes off,

take it you'll drill and fit new or another caliper

Heat, penetrating oil and patience ash took me 3 days to undo all mine on my Z when i first got it.

Duno whether a second hand caliper wud be cheaper than trying to drill if and f**k it up maybe,
Mikey been in soak for 6 days mate, the two front were easy, its pissed me off a bit trying no to spend a great deal on it, but there again it is nearly 30 year old,

Hi Ash, my local engineering shop got one out for me using spark erosion, think it cost me a tenner, mind you it was afew years back!

Steve there's a great engineering place on my door, i may ask him, hes done loads in the past, i know better really these things happen but was just hoping i wudnt have to spend out to much,

I've bleed a couple of them by just undoing the banjo bolt...

Need caliper off... banjo joint at highest point... jobs a goodun

ash are you near to north yorks ive' a z1r rear caliper cleaned and painted
hung up in garage put your pistons and pads in its yours if it fits.

Compo i live in Leicester and thanks mate, i think the z1r is different, the st is fixed to the swingarm and not by a torque arm.
