Default Was bleeding my brakes and one of the valves that let the brake fluid out broke.
is there anyway to just take the valve out and replace it. its the one like a nipple. i got to do the other 3 and is great improvement but i need to fix that one nipple soon.

Default The bleed screws are readily available.
They tend to break when they are over-tightened. It compresses them and they loose their seal.

Default Use one of those eay-outs that screws itself into the bleed screw as you turn counter-clockwise
Just try to use one of appropriate diamter.
