Dont worry if not, otherwise I will probably try MMS like Steve suggested. I am sure they would have done heaps before. Would rather try getting this out without having to ruin the the threads and retapping it.
never removed a broken bleed nipple but can't see it to be different than any other snapped bolt. As others have suggested I'd soak it first with a good penetrating fluid and it will need to be off the car. Busy today getting the car ready for QTW scrutiny and Saturday is also out with QTW stuff. If you want speed STECHNIC or maximum are a good call.
Another point to note going straight to drilling taping is not necessary, if the bolt is stuck fast a spark eroder will get it out without damaging the thread. If you can wait until Monday I'll get contact details from work.
