A siezed bleed nipple is relatively easy to drill out, particularly if you have access to a pillar drill of sorts. The hole down the middle makes a decent pilot drill for the bigger drill. Nipple is M8 tapping drill for which is 6.8 mm (17/64") :y :y :y

bleed nipple is not my problem (yet)
the flat where the pads sit on has corroded away so there is nothing except the pins and pistons holding them :-[
