Well I did it now! I broke off the bleed fitting on the brake caliper. Tried 
to drill it out but the threads are all messed up.Most of the threads are gone 
but the hole is perfect and dead on. The drill bit took off just a little too 
much of the thread and the fitting is not tight enough. 
     Anyone have an elegant solution? Plan A right now is to drill the hole 
out to 1/2 inch, tap it, screw a plug in and then drill and tap it to the 
proper size. I will have to take the caliper apart which I really don't want to 
do. 
Any ideas?
TIA
