Default Speedbleeder is stuck closed

Went to bleed my brakes today and notice that the rubber cap on my LR speedbleeder was cracked. Water must have been getting in because the ball valve inside is stuck closed and I can't get fluid to come out. Anybody ever have this happen?

I was thinking about pulling the bleer nipple out and trying to free the ball valve with a small drill bit. If it's corroded though, I'm worried and won't operate properly.

Honestly... ive seen enough speedbleeders leak/break... that i'd suggest just going back to a stock one and getting a device(or 2nd person) to do your brakes.

Had mine for 2 1/2 years and no problem. Running it without the caps on all 4 for 2 years (daily drive, HPDE, autoX) and never had a problem.
