Like every time i do maintenance something goes horribly wrong. I was bleeding my brakes, and I got to the front and realized that it took a different size wrench (9mm instead of 10). Out my toolkit and 3 of my friends toolkits, nobody had anything that fit. I decided to use a socket to loosen it up and then something else to do the open/close job. Put the socket on it, and start turning and SNAP. ARG. Luckily it seems that it snapped off before turning - I went for a drive and the brakes feel a bit mushy (dont think i did a good job bleeding the rears?) but I dont see any evidence of leaking.
Has this happened to anyone else? How hard/expensive is this to fix? is it just a matter of extracting the valve bolt and putting a new one in? Since I have to get my new exhaust installed anyways, i'm considering that I'll just take it in and let the pros fix everything at the same time.
Check out this rusty sonofabitch... think mazda didnt make the caps well.
