I needed two new front rotors for my 85 rx7 to pass inspection. I got on the right one without any trouble, but when trying to loosten the drain screw on the calipers to bleed the system, it sheared, and now its stuck in there. What should I do. All i can think of is a new caliper, but i really dont want to have to do that. Im already having to pay so much for parts to get it to pass. Any suggestions would be great. thanks, TIM.

 

If you have a replacement bleeding screw, take a dremel to the top to make a notch suitable for a screwdriver blade. It shold be pretty obvious how to get it out at that point

Unless you broke it off inside, in which case you need to get an easy out and drill that puppy loose.

 

that happened to me, and i just got two new calipers. (The old ones were in pretty bad shape)

 

This is why you are only supposed to use 6 point sockets on those suckers...

 

or u can take a vice gipe to it

 

Yeah, mine broke off flush too. Bled my system at the hose until I can afford to replace the calipers. Tried to drill/easy out, but like always it failed to work. Oh well, who needs brakes anyway?
