Hyperblade Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 So had a great day yesterday and broke off the bleeder adapter in the caliper. Then tried to use a screw extractor to get it out, but just not working as too soft. Anyone got any other ideas on how to get it out, caliper is aluminium so need to be really careful.

Mof Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It's got some form of loctite/sealer on it, warm it up to soften/melt the loctite then use your extractor again 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
