Well, after a long struggle, that rat-!#@#$ finally came out.
For those who have followed my saga, it started nearly a week ago. RR bleeder opened without a problem and the LR snapped off. I tried virtually every trick I knew and researched:
1) Tons of PB
2) Tapping with hammer (caliper and bleeder - lightly)
3) Drilled small hole and tapped in a hex wrench
4) Drilled larger hole and tapped in a 3/8" drive torx head socket - man, I really thought that was going to work!
5) Used air-hammer with dull bit to vibrate caliper around bleeder
6) Used heat
7) Used extractor sets (3 different types)
8) Went to neighbor, who happens to be chief engine builder at a major NASCAR team and we went to "the shop" and used equipment that cost more than my house.....and another extractor and more heat....and finally got it out!
