please explain what that is
i have 2 options right now i think drill it but it might dmg the calipter or get a new calipter
tried using vice grips, it grabs but once i turn it it snaps right off it
gimme some options common

i did a seach on google all i found was a knife i don't think that'll help if that will explain how it would thanks

go to autozone and tell them what happened. they should give you an ez out and a bit that matches. you drill into the bleeder a little and then thread the ez out into that hole (it threads in backwards). should come out real easily after that. be careful when you are drilling so no metal gets into the caliper though, i cant see seals and stuff liking that.

sorry to hear that. before you drop the 100+ bucks on a new caliper, take it off and take it to a shop. chances are they will be able to do it, and for pretty cheap. good luck....
