one brake bleeder bolt seems to be stuck
Any tricks? It's one of the front calipers. I was able to loosen the other 3 with ease. I tried tapping with a rubber mallet on my wrench, no go.

Re: one brake bleeder bolt seems to be stuck (beav)
nah if it breaks u can mostlikly drill and tap.
as for preventing this just u could heat it up a little and try and break it loose...
u can also do what guy said and let it soak in prenetrating oil (pb blaster!) not WD 40

PB blaster is excellent. Use a torch on the caliper around the bolt, but not on the bleeder itself. YOu want to heat up the caliper to expand the metal, while the bleeder stays normal size.
Just work it and make sure you are turning it the right way!!
