Re: [brakes] broke a bleeder valve

I guess you could try an easy out, the same thing happend to me, but my easy
out didn't make anything easy.  It ended up beaking off inside the bleader
screw, making things much worse, so i had to ditch it and get a rebuilt one.
You might want to add some heat too, i hear thats good for removing stubborn
seized threads.

man what do i do now? the sucker snapped right off,left about 4mm
which I dremmeled a notch for a screwdriver but that didnt work it
just opened the gap a bit more. the remaining looks bent a little.
i can still drive on this thing right? it didnt budge so im assuming
its not open, anyway to bleed it without this damn thing? shoudl i
just take it to a shop and have them get it out somehow and install a
new valve? man this makes me mad.
