Message:
Any tips on removing frozen bleeder screws on the front disc brakes?
I serviced the brakes around last January (<1 year) & the damn
things are frozen! I got the replacement screws, but feel I tried
everything short or replacing the caliper. I used liquid wrench,
impact hand tool (the one you hammer), vise grips, propane torch
(soak the threads with candle wax) to name a few.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I tried the box wrench 1st. That's what stripped the head.
I didn't heat it up red hot as I feared the rubber & seals
would get damaged. Will toy with it tomorrow.
