   I purchased a set of ebay last week, they arrived and i see that one of the bleed nipples has snapped off.
   
   So the caliper is useless without this being free, Can this be drilled out?

   Oh dear, i was doing abit of reading and some people use something called an "easy out" but apparently there prone to snapping to.
   
   I'm thinking of drilling it out then picking out the metal from the thread, or will this not work?

   I'm hoping that will be a last resort as i don't want to go through the hassle of posting as they are heavy bastards.
