Thanks. I really like the "wet grass" approach.

I don't remember, I think it's one of the lower ones.

I want to let everyone know who is following this thread, that I was able to successfully extract the broken off T20 screw from the aluminum ABS valve body, without removing the valve body or disconnecting the brake lines.

I engaged the help of some other engineer friends to brainstorm ideas. Over 25 suggestions were proposed. Some were rejected based on analysis or risks. Some were tried and failed before the successful solution was achieved.

At some point I will document the successful solution here. Right now I'm busy with other things, but if someone happens to be fighting this problem right now, let me know and I'll take the time to document it now.
