I was bleeding my brake today on my 914 and when I went to close the valve- the bleeder screw snapped off. It was a new bleeder and I hardly turned the screw- obviously a bad bleeder. There is about 1mm of the screw sticking out. I have tried to grap the remaining portion with needle nose pliers, didn't work. Tried to stick a small screw driver in and turn however it didn't work. I have several easy-out tools however none are small enough. Anybody have any ideas on how to get it out.

Sorry this isn't a 996 question but I thought that you all would have some good ideas.

If there is enough of the bleeder sticking up maybe you can hacksaw a slot for a screwdriver? AlternatelyI have been able to drive a hex wrench into hollow or Torx wrench into stripped allen head screws and back them out that way.

Get a #2 or smaller if they make "easy out" it should be small enough. GL

I was just looking through my tools and I found a #2 easy out- it fits perfect. I am going to try this tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I am going to cut a slot in the remaining portion and try to screw it out.

Thank you again for you advice.
