Can you bleed brakes from master cylinder?
The master cylinder is a hydraulic pump. As you pump the pedal, it forces the brake fluid into the calipers/wheel cylinders (or clutch bearing for a clutch master cylinder). You can bleed it in the car, but it takes longer and requires two people- one to watch for bubbles and one to push the brake pedal.

What do you use to remove a broken screw?
Drill a small hole into the shaft of the screw. Tap a screw extractor into the shaft with a hammer. Attach a wrench to the screw extractor. Turn the wrench to remove the broken screw.

How do I remove a screw with a broken head?
Place the extractor tip in the starter hole you drilled. Slowly spin the extractor counterclockwise and press down until you feel the extractor threads bite into the screw head.
