broken bleeder

[Indiana_Red@hotmail.com (Ken B)]

I am going to try an easy-out.  In my situation, I had been bleeding that
"corner" of my car and the sides were so badly rounded off that I was using
a little vice grips to open and close the valve.  Well, I felt that tell
tale (the wrench turned but I dont thing the bleeder turned).  Sure enough
it brok off right at the caliper. Im thinking that it is not in there too
hard as I had just been opening and closing it a minute before.  Probly any
sharp/reverse threaded tool that can fit down inside the bleeder should
unscrew it.
BTW maybe this can start a new thread....aren't there some different kinds
of bleeder screws that work differently that this is less likely to be a
problem.
