Removing a snapped bleed nipple

I have a snapped bleed nipple in the anti dive unit of a bike and I was after suggestions for getting it removed. The process is beyond my very limited skills so was hoping for a pointer to someone in Brisbane who could do the job.
Thanks

Hi, i think that it is easy exchanging union bolt than removing the snapped bleed nipple, if the front fork is for SZ.

51753-49300 BOLT,union

The part is probably not expensive.

Try starting with a left hand drill bit... if you're really lucky it will catch enough to start undoing it.
 
Did it snap trying to undo or while tightening?

If the latter theres a small chance a left hand bit will do as pete says, or a easy out.

if the former its seized and will fight the whole way, try soaking first then drill left hand. you may have to re tap it.
watch out you dont damage the seat or it wont seal.

I could have go when i get back from holidays...
