smo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 A stud extractor is your best bet, as its hollow you dont even need to drill the old nipple, just screw the extractor in and itll come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 When I used to work for Bodge & Scarper we found that as long as there was some fluid still in there, then jacking the front wheels off the ground and turning it quickly lock to lock a few times with the engine running would generally bring the air out... I have never tried it on a Land Rover, but it might be worth a shot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
