errrr, ez-out? that is the only thing i have ever been able to get them 
out with when they break, it is a good idea to bleed your brakes once a 
year to keep this from happening whether they need it or not.

My day started out bad and just went down the tubes.  I was trying to 
bleed the brakes on my Spitfire and disaster struck.  The right front 
caliper bleed screw wouldn't turn, put a 3/8" drive ratchet drive on 
it and it snapped right off. The brakes were rebuilt exchange units 
10 years ago.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get the 
remnants out.  It looks like I can order the bleeder screw from VB.  

TIA
