Broken bleed screw

You're only choice now IS a new wheel cylinder. As for the remaining ones, try a bit of heat on the nipple, from a hairdryer or, better, a hot air gun. As it's a very tight fit in the cylinder or caliper, WD40 doesn't seem to penetrate. If the nipple does start to move then go in both directions. Don't just try to remove it in one go. Undo, do up, undo a bit more, do up,etc. Then you can try WD40, and heat together. This usually works for me, unless they;'re really seized. Good luck. New wheel cylinders from Peugeot are about 30 pounds I think.

Don't buy things like this from PUG. Motor factors will have perfectly good parts for far less money.

you should be able to get them fitted for £30 per side i think there £18 for non pug parts.

iair wont have got to that part yet so you can bleed up to the union,the small amount of "dirty" fluid left will mix in with clean,not perfect but only alternative is new cylinder

Is there any way at all to remove these bloody screws. They broke on both rear callipers on my 205 & I really don't want to fork out for 2 recon ones. Rear axles for these are like golddust so I doubt I'd find any scrapped.

As for slackening the remaining bleed screws, I use (anymore) an 8mm socket to slacken them, a wrench puts pressure sideways and they sheer more easily. Theres still a chance of them breaking though.

Sounds painful - have you seen a doctor?

Does anybody know how to fix this

It's probably wise to replace the one on the other side at the same time to avoid any imbalance in braking effect
