Subject:Can't open brake bleeder screw!
From:Richard O'Halloran

Just when my brake fluid change was going well the bleeder screw LR wheel
will not budge!  I can't shift it at all and now the nut head is rounded
off!!  I didn't twist that hard, honest.  I tried WD40 to loosen it but it
didn't help.  I guess I could have used my pipe fitting wrench and really
forced it but I don't want to shear the thing off!!  Any ideas or do I just
slink into my dealer and sheepishly ask for help.

When I'm out of this mess I think I might replace all the bleeder screws
with new ones and avoid this in the future.

Thanx everyone

Rich
