Don't worry, we were able to bleed the master find on the car, with all new calipers, didn't take as much fluid as I thought it would either.

Congrats on getting it running!!

Thats good to hear, I actually just bought some bleeder valve fittings that fit right on the master. I will try to bench bleed it while it's installed best I can, then I will bleed the rest of the brakes.

Then it's see if I can find an exhaust shop to do my exhaust today or tomorrow. Do most custom shops take walk-in's or do you have to schedule an appt? Buddy recommended a place that he gets all his stuff done at, but I forgot to ask him and this is my first time getting custom exhaust work done...

Congratz dude :D

sounds mean. congrats!

Thanks guys! George, you will see your ex soon ;)

Was getting all my ducks in a row. Got what I needed, bench bled the master cylinder, started bleeding the brakes. Got to the last caliper and snapped off the bleeder screw with the threads still in the caliper.

Went to remove with a screw extractor... I snapped that off in there too.

FML.

These calipers are new to me so I've never tightened them. I've rebuilt them and sprayed them. First time trying to loosen this one and bam, snapped off. So gay.

Can you grab any of it with pliers? if not, you may as well get a rebuilt caliper and re-grease it. Looks like another small hurdle in your build! :(

I feel for you mike, bleeder screws can be annoying.

lol, rebuilt? Yea, right. I'm not paying $300 or whatever it is for a rebuilt caliper over a snapped bleeder screw.

I will drill this fucker out and retap it if i have to. God this pisses me off. Hard not to sweat it spazzy!! I could be driving the damn thing by now.

Good luck even trying to find a rebuilt caliper. I havent been able to find any. Just drill it out very carefully and you will be fine.

I'm talking O'reillieys, just gota check them over a little before you put them in. $40. They hold up fine for me, just gotta make sure they lube the guidepins enough and a little anti-sieze on the final threads of the bleeder, and you're good to go!

I haven't had a hard time getting them before.

If I can't get it first try or two I am tempted to just take it to have a trusted shop do it. In fact, now that I think of it - I will try to extract it - if no go it's getting toward to a shop in hellertown to get this and the alignment done. See if they can do my exhuast there too..

Never heard of O'reillieys, but if you find an e30 m3 caliper rebuilt for under $150 show me where and I'll buy all four corners and sell them on here...
