Using donor parts.
Bolt is stripped, tried heat. I don't have a welder. Any suggestions?

The only other thing you could try is vise grips. If that doesn't work, just turn it in for a core and buy a new one. They are pretty cheap.

Drill it out to the next larger size, and put an adapter on it. Or get a bleeder from a truck.
But, unless you're really attached to that caliper, trade it in at Autozone for a rebuilt part.

Or....take it off the car and clamp the bleeder in a vise and turn the caliper off of it.........works like a charm.
