I just got a pair of rear brake calipers off a forum member a couple mins ago. They were pretty clean and came with the e-brake cables but upon inspection I found that the bleeder brake screw on one of the calipers was broken so close to the caliper It'd take a hell of a vice-grip to try and pull it out.

So I'm including pics to see if I can get any help from you guys. I've been thinking about drilling it out. Dunno if it's a good idea but It's my only one. Any suggestions/comments are more than welcome.

 

cut a slot in it and then use a screw driver, or use a backwards drill bit to drill/remove it.


You also might be able to use a punch to turn it out.

 

Put heat to it to break the bond the sealant has, before you try removing it.

 

Yea, if there is enough of it showing to cut a slot in it do that. I did that on a lot of the hardware on the MGB I resored. I used an impact screwdriver to remove them...worked everytime. If there is not enough showing to do this, try an easy out.

Good luck!

Dremel is all i gota say.

 

That sounds like a good plan. I guess I was a little too worked up to actually remeber/think straight. I did this with the alt pulley nut so I guess a smaller chisel some elbow grease and a blow torch should provide some good results.

I'll keep you guys posted.

 

EASY OUT EASY OUT EASY OUT! i used one, worked awsome. as long as you can find a replacement bleeder valve haha, good luck man
