Found a trick for getting stripped bleed screws out without breaking them
Worked on a 2010 F-150 last month where the rear caliper bleed screw was totally rounded off. Tried the usual extractor set and it just spun. Ended up using a torx bit that was slightly too big and hammered it in. Came right out after some PB Blaster and a breaker bar. Saved me from having to replace a perfectly good caliper. Anyone else use torx bits for stuff like this or do you have a better method?

Oh man, that torx trick is a lifesaver. It's like the universe giving you a second chance with a broken thing. Kinda makes me think of all the other times you just gotta jam something slightly wrong into place to make it work, you know?
