- This is a technique that I have used very successfully, when most other options did not work. Not only for the removal of a broken bleeder valve, but also on a broken stuck bolt. A last effort that can save the day!

This video was a life saver. I was about to just buy a new caliper. Thank you for this!
glad it was helpful!
My dad showed me a lot of mechanical tricks and this was one of them, it's a lot of work being a Mechanic and people don't understand, it takes skill and experience. I will always be grateful of all the years I spent with my dad fixing classic cars. Love your dad, rest in peace. I guess it's time for me to pass on the knowledge. Thanks for the video.
you are welcome!
@@donaldporta thank you God bless
This comment hit me. Really long story short, genuine RIP to your father, and never forget the blessings of what you were taught from an elder, which you can pass on.
Prior to using the EZ out I would soak the area with penetrating oil. Then drill a larger hole into the bleeder using a left hand bit. The reverse direction turns the bit and helps break the bind, often the broke part will come out with the drill, if not then go to the EZ out.
Took me 4 hrs of tapping to get my broken bleeder loose but with patience i got it out thanks for the video ! 🙏🏽
Glad it helped!
this gives me hope
Thank you for sharing. This will be my backup plan and has given me hope for finishing my job today!
i just broke mine just now and glad i found ur video thankyou!
Interesting. I came from your stained glass video to this. For a caliper, I honestly would have dropped between $50-$100 to avoid the PITA of doing this (plus if your caliper is old enough to snap a bleeder it is probably time to replace) but the lesson carries to other broken bolts that "easy outs" fail on. I've done this method before and it does work. I combine it with some penetrating oil too. Depending on your surrounding metal (because with aluminum alloys like most calipers) you have to be careful on your penetrating angle so you don't damage the female threads. I have also had luck putting the chisel in the center and creating a slot for a sharp flathead to just unscrew too. Thumbs up!
You are right--- I did change the caliper,--- I made the video to demonstrate this technique on the old one!
Brilliant idea. I was just as impressed by your patience. I would have succumb to the desire to get a vise to hold the brake caliper in place. Again very impressive. Good job
Glad you liked it!
Worked well .. one move extra would be to cover brake line hole with tape ..thought maybe dirt or metal shavings might fall in .
Damn good job. You didn't even heat it up like all the other vids. Hats off to you Sir 👏
thank you!
@@donaldporta I broke one this evening 😔 lol
Thank you for making this! Mine isn’t broken off that low, so I’m gonna try to remove it using locking pliers first. If that falls through, this might be next. Wish me luck!
Any luck?
This is why AI will not replace learning from a friend or your parent anytime soon. There is no way they would suggest this and its the best method.
Unreal! What a wonderful technique!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job, and video. Is there any reason why nobody seems to lubricate the new part's threads with antiseize, Teflon tape or grease? It would make removal easier in the future.
The danger of getting any kind of petroleum product into the brake system runs the risk of contaminating the entire brake system and having to replace many more parts that a bleeder screw or caliper.
I am going to try this, thanks for the tip sir!
Best of luck!
Well done amazing how to get broken brake valve out nice one fella
Thanks 👍
I am impressed! WOW
How do I know the depth of a bleeder valve on a master cylinder 2002 Honda Civic to be able to drill out the old broken
Just tried this with mine. Not comming out because its so rusted :(. I removed my outer tie rods a while ago and the threads were so rusted its incredible I got it out in the first place.
Thumbs up 👍 for good honest video
So nice of you
Impressive
Same thing happened to me luckily the brakes were bled already is it safe to drive like that?
yes, that valve is only for bleeding brakes, if system is bled--- system is ok, but next time the system needs bled, you will have to replace the caliper or get the broken valve out and replaced.
Super sir
Does EZ Outs ever work?!
I never had success with them
old school
If only I saw this before replacing the caliper🙄
Boss
This just happened, my bleeder valve was put in crooked before I bought car, it reverse till it broke
This just happened to me. Wish me luck
patience and go easy, it works for me most of the time.
Old school 1-0 Ez out
:D
Thought you were gonna take a chisel to the ribs for second there. Easier to buy a new caliper.
