Ah, yer screwed with the broken ezout.
Maybe the welder thing, that might work.
I've heard of guy bleeding by loosening the hose to caliper bolt,
letting the air out that way.

When you have a bolt, screw or whatever that's stuck in alum,
try tapping on it with a small hammer, one side, then the other, a few times,
kinda breaks 'em loose every now and then.

I'd start looking on ebay for a caliper, get one before you really need it so you don't get hosed.

Chain oil, ha, yea the wd40, kerosene, petrol, anything to get the big stuff off.

Wait a minute, there's 2 types of chain, we've been over this, o-ring and naked or straight chain.
If you have an o-ring I wouldn't let the chain soak in cleaning fluid.  Stuff might get past the orings
and defeat the whole idea behind them.  

Just clean it off and get some Bel-Ray, gear oil or anything kinda heavy so it's doesn't sling off too bad at speeD.  I got a can of chain and gear lube at the Advance Auto store in town, maybe 5 USD.
The wd 40 is gonna sling right off that baby.
Best time to oil them, I think, is right after a ride, when the chain is still kinda warm, they
seem to just suck the stuff up that way.  Put it on the stand, spin the rear while in neutral,
load that thing up, and poof, yer good to go.
