[urq] RE : Broken bleeder removal: tips ?

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Well here, my FLAPS can rebuilt mine for 75$ each, and Canadian Tire
(where I got mine 2 years ago) sells them for 85$ each. That's why I
want at least to try to remove the bleeders... But you're right, if I
can get them for 30$, it's a no brainer. I will ask around to find such
a shop.

As for the steel only calipers (late 83 to 86), they are 55$ each, with
a much bigger bleeder (like 10 mm) but I need the corresponding
carriers. Since we are upgrading Eric's car to the G60 setup, maybe I
can "borrow" them from his car ? :-)...

Or, like most of you, I can upgrade me too and forget about these
fragile Al/Fe calipers for good... 

Decisions, decisions...
