Sheared rad bleed screw valve

I've managed to over-tighten the rad bleed screw valve thingy and shear off the top. :( :slap:

 

How the hell do I get the bottom bit out?! :confused:

 

Obviously I don't want to do anything which would risk shedding debris into the coolant. The only thing I can think of is gluing a stick of some sort to the top and using that to twist it out. But knowing my luck I'll just glue the valve thread! :rolleyes:

 

Or maybe carefully cutting the top with a sharp knife, then twisting out with a screw-driver?

 

Bright ideas greatfully appreciated! :)

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

    heat a small knife and push it into the top and unscrew.

     

    Yup or the end of a screwdriver, works every time.
