I'm changing my brake pads/fluid, and I broke one of the bleeder screws in half trying to loosen it. Any advice on getting it out would be greatly appreciated. Can I leave that one corner (left rear) unbled for now? It's stuck closed, fortunately, as opposed to open, so at least the fluid won't come out. This is really stressing me out, so If anyone has any advice or insight, I'd be super grateful. If you are willing, you could even call my phone (919.423.7731).
Thanks!
 
You may be able to use vice grips to get it out and replace it. But honestly it should bleed its self out just may take awhile.
 
Yeah, I think I'll try taking a vice grip to it and replacing it with a speedbleeder. But for the time being, I bled 3 out of 4 brakes, and my pedal feel is not perfect, but it's not bad.
