Damn, I tighten mine this morning and i broke it off just like you did bro. how did you end up fixing it? mine is hold strong right now too but i dont feel comfortable having it broken in case I need to loosen/tighten it in the future.

anyone got any ideas of how to extract the broken bleeder screw?
