brake caliper bleed screw
Anyone ever try to remove a broken bleeder screw and was able to ?
how did you do it ?
I have three that have broken off and I cannot afford new calipers at this time. Anyone have any used calipers ?

I got one out just yesterday. It was the first time in my life I had success, or I should say I may have been successful because I don't know if I screwed up the seat in the process. I tried using easy outs many times but they usually just break. Yesterday I drilled progressively bigger holes until the remaining portion of the bleeder was so thin that I could use a very small punch to push it out of the threads.
Maybe someone else has a better idea.
