Thread is M10 x1

357 615 273 is the part number.

engine running is not correct. handbrake on or off shouldn't matter

Not wanting to appear rude but you asked a question and I provided you with the part number and the size you needed yet you still questioned it

my fault what had happend is whoever tried to bleed the rear brakes before had destroyed the bleed nipples to smaller than 7mm spanner size took the caliper to work in the end had to drill it and extract it out sorry if i appeard to be rude

No problem. The 7mm headed bleed screws are a pain
