While doing a brake fluid flush this weekend, the bleeder nipple on the right rear caliper of my 1980 242 snapped while loosening it. Is there an easy remedy for replacing the nipple, or is it simpler to just get a rebuilt caliper and swap it in ? Also, any recommendations on where to get rebuilts ? I got them from FCP Groton previously, but noticed that now they only list Beck Arnley for their rebuilt rear calipers.

Thanks.

Mike
