Hey guys just doing my rear brakes and after loosening the bleed nut it is just spinning when i put it back in. Whats the realistic outcome of this? Can i just re-tap it and put a plug in or will i need new rear callipers? :cry:

Thanks in advance

id be removing the bleed nipple completely and seeing what the threads are like, with a bit of luck it will have stripped the nipple only and you might be able to just clean the threads in the caliper with a similar sized bolt or a new bleed nipple. Chances are not of course.
