No need to remover the caliper to heat them, just don't get them red hot |

Warm them up - apply plus gas and use an 8mm six point socket - gently ! |

As well as heat you can also gently tap the end of each nipple with a small hammer about 50 times. Don't overdo the tapping but it tends to break the rust ring on the thread. |

decided to buy some new nipples in advance but the fella at main dealers said they never have any problems, no heat, nothing. didn't stock them and couldn't recall the last time he sold any.
