As title. Bleed nipples must not be seized.

Are you looking for a new calliper because the bleed nipple(s) in your existing one are seized?
If so, a solution might be to swap the banjo bolt for one with a bleed nipple in it.
If you do this, you might need to modify your bleeding technique. Bleed nipples are installed at the highest point of the calliper, so any air bubbles which get in collect in the nipple, ready to escape when the calliper is bled. The banjo bolt is usually lower than this, so to get all the air out, you need to dismount the caliper and support it so that the banjo bolt is the high point.

Yes, but I've managed to extract both busted nipples BUT I've still got 1 caliper piston stuck.
