Ive found that bleeders ususlly are a pain to get loose. Like was said before, heat them with a acc. torch.A trick I was told years ago is whenever you heat anything like this ,its better to heat around the base of the bleeder and not concentrate on the bleeder itself. Heat it good once and then let it cool,then heat again before trying to break it free.the heating and cooling will make the bleeder loosen easer.Then put just a small ammount of pressure on the bleeder using a 6 point box wrench or a 6 point socket working back and forth to free the bleeder.If your lucky enough to get it loose,then we put anti- seize on it to help prevent further problems.maybe not the best way,Im sure a lot of people have different methods but this works well for us.If you have a couple of extra days ,you can try PB Blaster. Im sold on that product too.
