bleeder valve twisted off, help!!!!
Need ideas on how to remove twisted off bleeder valve from brake caliper. I tried a screw extractor, but snap it off and now it is wedged in bleeder.
I started drilling 1/16" holes around extractor to remove it. I'm thinking of drilling out center of bleeder and using a thread chaser to remove the rest of the bleeder. Any input would be appreciated. 
Thanks in advance.

Glad you said it first. Just get another one at this point. Maybe they won't notice/care on the core charge. It's now more trouble than it's worth.
