Broken valve: Chances of Success?

[kntmikado]

I got a pair of front calipers shipped to me, but they weren't packed very well and the bleeder valve broke off of one during shipping. There isn't any thread exposed, but the caliper and such isn't rusted. I've been giving it a good spraying with penetrating oil every 20 mins or so... what do you think the odds are of my being able to get it back out?

Should come out using an easyout!

That's what I thought, but there was another thread on here where the opinion was different.. so I figured I'd post and gather thoughts specific to my situation.

Anyway, I'll give it a try and post back.

Take your time with it

You may need to drill the bleeder to fit a larger easyout in (lager = stronger less chance of snapping it off).

Woo! Got it out!

Gotta love all the little joys like these that can come up while working on cars, and drag on until you lose your sanity lol
