i use big pair of grips to push the caliper back in, needs a bit of effort (especially from me) 

Yes, well you're far too young to be playing about with 'nipples' anyway Tunnie IMO

Ive never loosened the bleed nipples on calipers whilst winding them back, and i do them pretty often. Usually whip the cap off the reservoir.

ive seen it happen twice, once on a vito and once on a frontera........ why run the risk? its freeto loosen the bleed nipple, howmuch is a master cylinder?

id never heard of it unitl last year when i was up the local garage for a brew and a natter, and someone come in with the frontera, 've just changed my pads and now the brakes are very bad' blown master cylinder, then no more than two weeks later a mate changed the pads on his vito and blew his seals too.... ive never done it personally but im not taking the risk
