Hey All,

i have owned my GQ patrol for 3 weeks now and i am slowly making my way around the vehicle and learning new things,

I was looking around on the rear end and i noticed that the 2 bleeder nipples on the Drum brakes have been snapped off leaving thread in there.

how do i go about removing the existing thread or are you able to replace the part that it snapped off into?

any help would be great as i have tried my search on google and on here and havnt had much luck.

Thanks,
Foo

I reckon you'd get it out with an ezyout. You drill into it the using an ezyout you can undo it. Spray with wd40 a few days ahead to help get them out

very worst case senario is you have to drill out 98% of it and then retap the thread but even that wouldnt be hard.
you can get the new bleeders and take them somewhere like coventrys fastners and get a tap for that thread in now time
