What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Flushed the brakes and clutch in advance of a DE on the 26th. The clutch bleed valve is a royal pain in the butt. Is it worse on the 6 speed?

On the front right caliper the outer bleed valve was badly rusted and sheared off when I tried to loosen it. I am desperate to have that fixed before the DE. If anyone has a right front caliper for a 2004 S, please let me know.

I had my first Boxster flat tire. A quick change to the spare was easy - got rid of the security lugs a long time ago. Not sure of how the tire failed, most likely road debris. It was pretty torn up by the time I pulled off the highway. I'm just glad the wheel isn't damaged.

I've had this. The solution is to take the caliper off, put a washer over the bleed valve to protect the caliper then put a nut over and fill the centre with weld, welding the nut to the stump of the broken nipper. The heat and the ability to unscrew it now will work. If the thread isn't damaged just replace with a new bleed nipple. If it is, here in the UK on Ebay you can get a thread tap and larger bleed valve in a kit.
It's what I've done although had to take it to a garage workshop to do as I don't have a welder.
