Little update.
Got anoter set of rear e30 m3 calipers courtesy of hugh jass. $100 shipped later, I was able to take the side I needed, rebuilt it using the gasket and rubbers (keke) from the original caliper I had on there.
Was scared shitless to attempt to open up the bleeder screw but alas, it worked like it should :D
Bled the brakes, bled the clutch (pita). All that is left (knock on wood) is intall the e34 m50 throttle cable, and possibly reset my TPS and idle screw.
Then it's drive to nearest exhaust shop to get the exhaust on.
Hopefully everything else is right. Need to figure out why my diagnostic port isn't working.
She looked like this until I put the bonnet on her (haha, bonnet)...
Brought the lip in to finish bolting up the splitter. CLOSER! Can't wait till I'm at the clean up stage.

Originally posted by whiltebeitel View PostI'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.

Originally posted by MIKe30 View Postlol, 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.

Originally posted by whiltebeitel View PostCan 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! :(

Originally posted by MIKe30 View PostThese 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.

Originally posted by MIKe30 View PostWas 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.
