Default Problem Bleeding Brakes...

My 96 Accord lx 5 sp. needs the brakes bled. The problem is I broke off the left rear bleed screw trying to loosen it. None of it is sticking out so I cant get a grip on it what so ever.
Is it possible to loosen the brake hose/nut that goes into the back of the hub and bleed it that way? I have tried a few times with no sucess.

Or does anyone have any tips on removing the broken bleed screw? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You will not be able to bleed by removing the hose from the back of the caliper. Go to parts store and get a new bleeder valve.

An easy-out should get that out.
