So...it's a DIY gone terribly wrong

Putting the car away for the winter, started to change the brake fluid. Got to the front caliper - tried to loosen the bleeder valve and SNAP. It breaks right off. Not sure how this happened, I just changed my brake fluid a few months ago and didn't tighten them that hard. Man - this sucks.

So...what do I do now? Do I try to drill it out and use an Easy Out? Do I drill it out completly and use a Heli-Coil to re-tap the thread? Need some suggestions please...

 

I would try to use an easy out first to see if you can get it out. Only re-tap if you need too/have too.

There's a hole right down the middle already so an easy out might do the trick. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, I w ould suggest taking the caliper off and having a mechanic do it for you.
