Mikal 4 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 So, on screwing back in the radiator bleeder screw, the head broke off. Whats the best way to remove the threaded part from in the radiator without causing more of a problem? Also, if anyone has a spare radiator bleeder screw lying around and live near royal oak let me know. For a 95 318i. Cheers, Michael. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted December 5, 2011 How'd you do it? The same thing happened on my old car and i drilled through, then twisted it off with a small screwdriver then cleaned out radiator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikal 4 Report post Posted December 5, 2011 Basically what you did but instead of a screwdriver I used a special bit Glenn lent me, has a reverse thread on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted December 5, 2011 i screwed a screw into the screw as a temporary fix that ended up lasting for a few years... it worked too. i guess the reverse drive bit is the correct way though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
