Rear brake problem :/

[elkoi]

Uhm, hello.

I changed my rear brake pads on the weekend, and while doing them i accidently broken something. :/

I think its where you bleed the brakes? i used a 8mm spanner and i turned it the wrong way & it snapped off, some fluid started to come out.

What have i done & is it easily fixable?

Thanks for the help.

you have facked it
go europarts with the part you have broken, give them your reg
should be cheap
good luck

If you are lucky you might be able to drill the snapped off bleed nipple and then get a screw/bolt extractor reverse thread thing in there and back it out. Failing that drill it out and retap. Either way you are going to need a new bleed nipple, another caliper might be easier as they are pennies

What'll happen if i just leave it?

well if you've already bled them and its snapped off in the hole afterwards then nothing, but thats only if the system is sealed - you said its got a leak so eventually it'll drain the fluid leaving you with a spongey pedal and dangerous brakes. I wouldnt drive the car until you've sorted it
