Let me start off by saying, I'm an idiot! That being said, I broke the nipple off of the cartridge body for the rear brake of my 1998 FXSTC (the plastic cylinder that sits directly in front of the timing cover). I now need to buy a new one and install it, but I'm not exactly sure how to get it out and don't want to just start taking **** apart blindly. Anyone that can give me some instructions or point me in the direction of some sort of guide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help!

Rear brake caliper nipple? The bleed screw I am assuming. The only way I know of is an easy out bolt extractor.

 

Not the caliper nipple. In the Service Manual it's called the Cartridge Body. It's a plastic cylinder that is in-line with the rear brake pedal and sits directly in front of the timing cover

It's #25 in this picture

 

Anything you can stick inside of it and kind of "grab" it? I'm assuming it's plastic?

Remove everything from the bike until part #25 is isolated.

Replace with a new part #25.

Reverse the process for re-assembly.

 

See, this is why I come here for help... Without advise like this, I never would have been able to ride again.

 

Doesn't your service manual have the procedure??
I wish I could help more but I don't think my bike has that part.

 

You mean its not that simple?

 

Hell, that's the only way to learn anything !
