Good things, bad things

For the most part, the rear end swap went well.  A few minor issues happened prior to starting the brake bleeding (the very last step), but nothing that wasn't fixable with appropriate levels of force. The rear brakes wouldn't bleed, and I remembered that I had the same problem when I bled them about a year ago as well. I fixed that and started on the front brakes, when the bleed screw broke clean off. Multiple attempts to extract the leftover screw ended in failure. I should have just picked up an easy-out to begin with but I thought I could get it out. Silly me. Now I need another caliper and I'm sure none of the auto parts stores around here carry them.
