um, yea so im a moron. i was bleeding the master cylinder and wasnt paying attention and turned it the wrong way. i snapped the bleeder screw right off.

now my question is, am i alright as long as the fluid isnt coming out of the hole? i would hope so because i was tightening it when i wanted to loosen it, so the valve should still be closed, correct?

^yes, but you need to get a screw extractor and have some fun.

yea what he said ^^^^....do everything you can to make sure no metal shavings et into the brake system, otherwise your screwed.



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

If it closed and you can hit the brake pedal and no fluid comes out, you technically are okay.

What you should do, is try to get the screw out, or replace the caliper if it broke off to deep to use an extractor.
