Hi
On my rear calipers, the bleeder broke under the part where u loosen it.
I tried to pb blaster the bleeders but there rusted pretty good, I even hit em with a torch to warm them up. They are not leaking and I cannot bleed them.
So

Can I just drill out the rest of the hollow part of the bleeder screw that is left in the caliper, or since it's not leaking, leave it alone?

If its possible to drill em, what size drill bit?
Or any other type of tool?

Or is is not worth it to try to drill them out and just get new calipers?


These are replacement/aftermarket calipers I replaced 4 years ago, I had bled them 2 years ago when I did brake/rotor change, and today I went and got my free replacement rotors lifetime warrantee, and I am now left with this mess.

You need new calipers buddy

If you're very handy with drilling, tapping, etc, you can get a heli-coil kit for it. But they're not cheap. So if you don't already have it then this is pointless.

Time for a new caliper, unfortunately that's the news dude.
