Dudes,
  I was doing the front brakes on my brother-in-law's scirocco, and I 
broke the retaining screw holding the disk to the hub...
  Miraculously, the hardware store was still open at 7:30 on a friday, so I 
went and bought an easy out screw extractor.  Unfortunately, I snapped 
the tip of the screw extractor off IN the screw.  Now I'm stuck with a 
piece of hardened tool steel down in a hole in the screw.  If I try to drill 
into the screw to use the next size up screw extractor, the F@#$ING 
thing is too hard and I trash my drill bit.  
  I chisled off the head of the screw so I could remove the disk, but now 
I want to get the little nub out of my hub so I can put a new rotor + screw 
on.  I know the screw is sort of redundant, but I hate doing this half-
assed.  There's no way to grab the screw with vice grips at this point
  Is there another way to get the screw out?
