Are these sold individually? or are sold with the entire caliper?

bleed nipples are sold seperately .... you need to be able to get the old one out without shearing the head off if it siezes ;)

Problem is its been rounded off due to rust, the standard (8mm?) spanner works on one side, but slips on the other, can't get the size smaller on.
Suspect a 'magic' socket should cut in, or use of plyers should get it going, but need replacement.
I'm not sure if its M7 or M8 though :-/

A small stilson?

Give it a damn good soaking with plus gas first.
You don't want it to shear the end off.

Just "borrow" some from your uncle TB. :y

Wot he says. Build up a well of bluetak or plastercine around the nipple & fill it with Plusgas, & repeat ;). Sometimes 'judicious' tapping with a small hammer can help shock it into submission. If it shears, you either need A N Othe caliper, or a machine shop to drill it out carefully.

Use a hex socket to get it free.

Its about time we argued in person is it not? ;D
Can't make Newent, due to fly to Tokyo on 4th September

M8 :y Use a hex socket, but not a great big 1/2" drive ... you'll shear it, and carefully try it back & forward. Chances are it'll undo without breaking.

I don't think its seized, just corrosion has made it 'un-gripale' with the spanner :(

Using a hex socket will be better than an open ended spanner. ;) And smear a little copper grease on the new one when you fit it. :y

I have got a broken one out before using an easyout

Yes. If the bolt/whatever is that tight the head has sheared off, you can very easily end up with a sheared off easyout to get out too. :(

I can never understand why some bleed nipples are so small in diameter
