Tried to remove the seized bleed nipple in my caliper and subsequently snapped it off. Then I drilled it and put a screw extractor in it - which snapped off too. Now I have a very hard and undrillable extractor stuck too!Hahahahaha, classic! How to get it out? Spark erosion is, as far as I know, the last resort now. Look it up.

Excelent idea i can see this post geting masive. I was showing the Newark 250 to the Virgin bloke this morning and i noticed Cat claw marks on my brand new seat cover so i put a cardboared box broken down over the seat then i added a thick cover over the bike then i replaced the normal double bed cover over that to keep the dust of it . so with any luck no more cat claws scratching it .

Put 3 heat cycles through new motor checked for leaks polished a few bits and wondered when I might actually get paintwork back and actually ride it

Tried to remove the seized bleed nipple in my caliper and subsequently snapped it off. Then I drilled it and put a screw extractor in it - which snapped off too. Now I have a very hard and undrillable extractor stuck too! I gave up and went back into the warm!! Anyone got any ideas how to get it out?? use a centre punch and hit the broken extractor with it, it should shatter it and then remove the pieces using some tweezers or long nosed pliers

Thanks Mutts - ill give it a go. Once i get it out I will carefully drill/dremel the nipple and pick the bits out, would be easier to helicoil if I have to than getting the extractor out.
