broken bleeder

[garageblues]

i broke the bleeder valve on my 535i. when trying to extract it i broke off the extracting tool. does anyone have any suggestions on how i can save the caliper?

you have a couple options, neither would I do tho :p

Both involve taking the caliper apart, either drill and tap or use an aceteline torch to carefully burn the bleeder out.

I would just pick up another caliper and be done.
