Kevin,

By brake job you really did a "break" job ;-)

I've tried drill this out myself but was not able to clean it out.  The darn bleader is so encrusted that you cannot do it while on the van.

I ended up gettin a brand new caliper and getting my mechanic to fight with the installation.  $150  latter the van was fine.

I also ran around for a while with the broken bleeder.  It was broken shut so I just loosened the brake fluid line on the caliper to get the air out of the line instead.  This worked.

Cheers,
Joel

Hi Folks,
Doing a routine break job today and the darn bleeder valve broke off in the
caliper. Is this something I can drill out and tap sucessfully or is it
just time for a new caliper?
Thanks
