Broke it flush to the caliper! Anyone have any experience removing these? Also, anyone know what size it is? Are they available on any auto parts or do I need to order it only? My luck, it was the only one missing the rubber protector which I also need!

Just a thought, but these calipers are actually quite inexpensive on eBay. If you can’t extract the screw, it might be easiest to just buy a used caliper
Is it front or rear?

I been successfull at drilling and using an easy out to remove it. Id try that and worse case as mike said buy one on ebay
as stated above, success can be had drilling a pilot for an ez out or extractor. i've had mixed success doing it, sometimes it works and other times it's new caliper time. don't want to go too deep as the tapered seat that the bleeder tightens down onto is essential.

The thread size is likely a pipe thread (1/8 NPT perhaps). Getting it out should not be that difficult but will be more difficult with the caliper on the car.

Well, broke the easy out in the hole that was already there. Now seems impossible to drill another hole. Checked eBay, seems like cheapest used caliper in decent shape is about $300!!! Anyone have one (front passenger side) or have any other input?

Got my hands on a nice used one for $90 from a nice fellow on ebay by the name of skinnyscott. I convinced him to join us here and let everyone know what he has to offer. He posted on member introduction a few days ago. Life is great again!
