Apparently the caliper is made of aluminum. I will see if I can get it repaired by a caliper specialist once I have the time. For now my prime concern is to get the car on the road ASAP.

Thanks/Anker

Check out Youtube there are several video's on how to remove broken bleeder valves. They may help.

Put a washer over the valve to protect the caliper, then a nut and fill with weld to attach to the broken nipple and it will unscrew. If the thread is damaged, here in the UK you can get an oversize replacement valve and thread tap off the bay.
