#25260, "BRAKE BLEEDER SCREW SHEARED OFF!! HELP!!"
Sep-25-04 07:44 AM by ughhhead

          

well i'm in the process of putting in some speed bleeders and my bleeder screw just sheared off. i stuck a little nail down the center of the hole to help it keep some shape while i was trying to get it out with vice grips. no go. it's pretty much to the point where i can't get any grip on the screw. what do i do?! i don't have a clue what i should do. should i just keep trying with the vice grips? should i attempt to drill it out? is there a tool i might be able to use? please help me emoji

It's basically a reverse threaded tapered drill bit. It bits in when turned counterclockwise, and turns whatever it is biting into in the same direction. To extract a bolt, one would drill a pilot hole into it, and thread the easy-out in with a pair of vice grips. Since the bleeder screw is hollow, there is no driling involved.

hmm well it sounds like it should definitly work but i'm worried that something stupid will happen and it won't. grain i appreciate the offer. hopefully i won't need to use your calipers but it's nice to know i can if i need to.
