[QUOTE="haywire, post: 635754, member: 16474"] Is ok bro, happen more than once on my car. No need to drill, the body of the bleed screw should have a small hole that you can put a small precision screwdriver in. Use two flat precision screw and try to push it to turn. It should come out, I have done this many times. Replace with a new one, don't bother with a used one as its quite prone to breaking. My last one only lasts 6 month. Good idea to change to new ones every time you bleed the radiator as it only costs RM11 from BA. Keep some in the car for emergencies. There are bleed screws made from brass in the market, but the point of a bleed screw is it provides a weak point in case of leakage. If you put in brass screws then you expansion tank or radiator might break. [/QUOTE]
