with bleed nipple that unscrews

A siezed bleed nipple is relatively easy to drill out, particularly if you have access to a pillar drill of sorts. The hole down the middle makes a decent pilot drill for the bigger drill. Nipple is M8 tapping drill for which is 6.8 mm (17/64")

bleed nipple is not my problem (yet)
the flat where the pads sit on has corroded away so there is nothing except the pins and pistons holding them

Got one here and the nipple is fine
