Thanks dan. Bleeding was going great (left the screen in)till I got to the left caliper and the kid that installed the bleeder screw tightened the thing down an ungodly amount and of course it rounded off as I was trying to remove it. Now I’m in a real pickle. Anyone have any advice on how to get the darn thing out of there once rounded? I really don’t wanna source a new part of this caliper. It’s seriously frozen theses calipers are only 6 years old Never driven in winter so I know it’s not rusted on.
