Broke my expansion tank bleed screw

[dave b]

$#^%#$%! Now I have to ride my bike to go get a new one...

Can I just pick up the bleeding where I left off? In other words, I can just get the car warm and open the screw until no more bubbles (this time, without breaking the screw).

Just pick up where you left off. Make sure heater is on so coolant is flowing through it, and make sure coolant is at correct level in overflow tank. After bleeding let it run for a while, maybe go for a short easy run then re-check for bubbles. As long as you have got just fluid with no bubbles running out of the bleed hole it should be OK.
