Reddit reviews ATE Pro Tool 8 piece Easy Out Screw Bolt Extractor Set

Well, you can try a thing called an Easyout. You can probably get one at Harbor Freight Tools as well. There are YouTube videos on how to use them.

It is possible that you could drill it out and re-tap as well. You need to be careful, cast iron is hard, but brittle.

Cut a slit in it and use a flat head.
Or Easy Out, a must have tool.

drill a small hole into the head of the fastener, then use an easy out set to reverse thread the screw out.

If you get the bits designed to get screws out (they reverse thread into screw heads. One should be large enough to grab the inside of the bleeder valve and remove it.

$10 for a bolt/ screw extractor/ drillout. http://www.searsoutlet.com/d/thematic_page.jsp?pgNm=craftsman-pc-power-extractor

Make sure any metal bits fall out of the hole. You might have to clean up the threaded hole afterwards. It might be worth rebuilding the caliper to make sure there isn't rusty bits inside and throw on a new boot and relube everything.

I have a set of ezouts that would get to it. It looks like a socket and bores into the wood around the bolt. The inside of the ezout is counter threaded. I have used them many times for stuff like this.

Here's the inside extractors like the ezouts...http://www.amazon.com/piece-Easy-Screw-Bolt-Extractor/dp/B0002UJNWE

Even if you don't need these for this task, these things are priceless to have around when you need them

You can try one of these kits, I've had luck in the past. https://www.amazon.com/piece-Easy-Screw-Bolt-Extractor/dp/B0002UJNWE

There's a tool for that.

Easy Out

There is a family of drill attachments that are used to remove damaged or stripped screws. Should work on yours if you can't get it off otherwise.

Eg. Grabit

EZ outs. These work great. http://www.amazon.com/piece-Easy-Screw-Bolt-Extractor/dp/B0002UJNWE

They actually make an ez-out large enough to fit that hole, I can’t tell how deep that is but you might consider that. For example, ATE Pro Tool 8 piece Easy Out Screw Bolt Extractor Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002UJNWE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EmQ4Db8R4VFH3
A hardware store may sell a single unit in the size you need. You didn’t mention applying copious amounts of penetrating oil first.

Some pix would really help, but I think you're looking for an 'easy-out'.

a good tool for something like this is called an "ez out" but youll have to get one small enough.

honestly, before i got to that point, id be headed to my local gunsmith. rather spend a few bucks than mess up my gun irreversably.

remove the whole seat so you can get at what's left of the bolt. Hit it with some WD40 , PB Blaster or whatever your favorite penetrating oil is. Now let it soak in there for a good long time. Then hit it again with the WD40 and let it soak again for a good long time...like an hour or so. After it has been lubed and penetrated get some vice grips and clamp those fucker on there as tight as you can perpendicular to the direction of the bolt. Make sure they are on there real good and then slowly try to back the bolt out. It looks like there is enough left of the bolt for this method to work. If it doesn't you can always try one of these , but I have had mixed success with them and always try the TONS OF PENETRATING OIL and vice grips method first. Also , make sure you let the penetrating oil soak in there real good.

Home depot sells things like this http://www.amazon.com/piece-Easy-Screw-Bolt-Extractor/dp/B0002UJNWE
