Anyone know what size the brake banjo/hose union bolts are on a 1.8 Mk1? Bleed nipples are stuck solid on the front calipers, so I was going to order some of these funky gizmos and save the hassle trying to drill the bleeders out - Just not sure of the right size!

Rears are fine as I've just stuck reconditioned calipers on anyways.

Many thanks smile

Borrowed a stupidly inaccurate feeler guage and calipers, turns out the bolts are M10 sized but I couldn't tell if the thread pitch was between 1 or 1.25mm - so just ordered both sizes. Will update with which one works when they arrive - in case anyone is in the same predicament wink

Virtually all modern Japanese cars use only 10mm x 1mm male fully-threaded unions.

Hope that helps. Note the "Virtually"
