I was recently having air in my coolant system, and my boyfriend had been bleeding the air out by using the bleeder valve. But when he was tightening the screw back, the top of the screw broke off. And we have tried getting the screw out but the screw is to soft. So we are going to replace the whole hose/pipe or whatever its called. But we can't find the right name for the part/parts that we need. And it is making me go bonkers trying to find anything out. My brain is hurting. So please help point us in the right direction.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Can you take a picture of the broken bleeder screws location using your cell phone and upload it here? That would help me get a better idea of what component that needs to be replaced. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
