        which caliper is it? I have a spare one...I might gamble and take yours + cash for my good one. I only have 1 available though.....well I have two but one is powdercoated blue and disassembled, i haven't gotten around to doing the other one yet and I forget which side is done.

        anyways if you need a caliper let me know which side, 50/50 I can help you, and I'm local.

          Simple,

          get a CARBIDE or COBALT drill bit smaller than the easy out that you broke off in the caliper.

          put caliper in vise and drill through the easy out

          insert new easy out and remove


          or, geta new caliper, thats what i would do

            Trade it in as a core.
