Just finished replacing my rotors and Notice the Caps that go over the caliper Nipple are brittle and cracked and ready to fall off..

Where can I get replacement caps ?? or do I just leave it without the rubber cap ?

Be careful searching for "Nipple Caps".

I'd as at parts store or use some small vacuum caps.

Link doesn't work. Just go and find you some nipple caps and stop listening to these guys about vacuum caps or bleeder caps. They don't understand what you are asking for........lol
