[Help] Broken bleed screw (disk calliper)
Hello all,
Last week, I accidentally broke the bleed screw off the front brake calliper (R15.v1). As the incident occurred while bleeding the brakes, the brake fluid had been continually draining out.
After quite a search for spares, I finally got my hands on the bleed screw kit; cost about INR 88. Yamaha refused working on the calliper, and my local mechanic tried removing the jammed (bit of the) bleed screw out, but to no success. My only option right now would be to replace the calliper assembly as a whole, but costs around INR 4000 including taxes; which is a bit expensive.
Was wondering if any members could input on how I could get the bit off the calliper. Would save me a lot of money!
Thanks.
