Wait you fixed it with super glue?? I always thought that stuff would just fuse the joint solid and you'd never be able to move it again lol. Good to know it actually holds up for years like that

Torque specs on those bleed screws are only like 13 ft lbs, most guys crank them way past that and that's what actually causes the snap. I'd skip the extractor gamble and just drill out the old cylinder, then have the local machine shop put a threaded insert in the new one before you mount it.

That "eyeballed the rest" part got me. My buddy Dan had the same thing happen with a cheap scale right as he was pouring his first bloom on some Kenyan beans he paid way too much for. He cursed for a solid minute, then just dumped the rest of the bag in and brewed it like cowboy coffee. Said it was the strongest, most bitter cup he ever had but he drank it out of spite. He still won't buy another scale, just uses a scoop now and swears it's close enough.
