Nortthwind – the garage should have said to the owner that it was seized and there was a risk of sheering it before brute forcing it.
If garages stopped and asked you every time something was seized up and there was a risk of shearing it, nobody’d ever service a 10 year old car again. “Hello, it’s us again, yes as we mentioned the first 3 bolts at were corroded and at risk of shearing, well you’ll never guess what, so is the 4th and the 5th and the 6th…” Pick up tool, put tool down, make call, customer doesn’t answer, take car off lift, customer calls back, every job takes 19 days.
If you want the brakes doing then the nipple needs cracked open and that means a risk of breaking. It’s not something you can just not do (welllll you can halfass it by bleeding it at the banjo, but you shouldn’t, more likely plenty of garages would just not do the job)
