The bleeding valves are totally seized. They're about $1000 each from the dealer, does anyone have any suggestions? | ||

Worst case: they drill and tap new holes for bleeders. That is assuming that the rest of the caliper is sound. | ||

A pair of front calipers for the early 463 and the EPC show them to be the same for the 460 fronts. 3 nipple bleed. When I was having brake issues I picked these up used but ended up just rebuilding my old ones. cylinders appear to be in good shape. 1 seal is a little suspect. $325 for the pair plus shipping.
