broke off brake bleeder screw

[Jared K]

Hey everyone, 1st post.

Yesterday I was bleeding my brakes and when I went to loosen the LH rear caliper bleed screw, it broke off. Luckily, it's not leaking. Any tips to get it out?

You can drill it through the center and use and e-z out on it. Other than that you can replace the caliper.

thats what you should do. if the bleeder brakes, how the rest of the caliper going to be?

the trick is to soak it in bolt loosener. then hit the area around it with a hammer, and then crack it loose with a socket. and if it doesn;t come loose heat it up and then try it, only do this if you pla on rebuilding the caliper tho. because you will boil the fluid and melt the seals.
