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

In the past I have used the tang of a small file. The tapered square-section of the file, when tapped gently into the hole in the nipple, squares that off as well and has allowed sufficient force to

I would use a small easy-out. Sometimes they are called screw extractors. It is a small spiral shaped affair that has the spirals cut in a reverse thread. It has a shaft on the end like a tap does. I

... beat me to it by a few minutes so I guess I will just second Bill's suggestion. It sounds like the ideal job for this tool and should simply "unscrew" without too much trouble (ha! famous last wo

Left handed bits are the hot setup, OK. The drawback to EZ outs is that if you break one off flush, or lower, you now have way more problems than what you started with. They are nearly impossible to
