Try drilling it out with a left handed drill at a very slow RPM. Sometimes
the drill will stick and unscrew it out... it worked for me!

One of the grease nipples on the front suspension of our Sprite has been
sheared off (not by me, I'm not guilty this time!).  Before I attack this
with various "tools" that I have laying around, I was hoping for some "been
there, done that" advice.  This is the lower nipple in the stub axle.  The
car is a Bugeye so the access to the front suspension is pretty good.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
