whilst bleeding my radiator i have managed to over tighten the bleed
screw and snap the square end off the rest of the screw. to try and
remove the rest of the bleed screw i have used a drill and some screw
extractors but have been unsucessful in doing so. the type of radiator
in question is an old type round topped radiator which does not have
the facility to use a spanner to bleed the radiator.
what i am wondering is if anybody has come across this problem before
and what have you done to resolve it?


We had this one recently and my idea was to abandon the broken one and just
fit a new bleed screw in the other end of the radiator.
