This is the most realistic video when it comes to everything you must suffer through when doing your own brake job.

I had to do this one time, but that taught me a valuable lesson. I keep my vehicles longer than most people do so every 2 years I remove and replace ALL brake bleeder screws. I've found that in that time period it's too short for them to become seized and it's an easy job that's not very costly. You won't even need to bleed the brakes unless you want to as part of the vehicle's maintenance.

If doing the job at home start applying a good penetrant to the bleeder screw a week before you do the job. A couple applications can save you a lot of screwing around and expense.

I had success by MIG welding a flat washer to the bleed screw and then welding a nut to the washer, the heat penetrates quickly and then quickly cool the area with wet cloth. The nut had good leverage the heated and cooled screw lost its adhesion.

you know what's worse?
when the reverse drill bit brakes off in the hole... that happened to me a week ago..

good job getting yours out.

[rolsta]

Boil a kettle and pour hot water over the alloy. Saves burning rubber seals.

[perforsberg]

Happend me today. Hammerd in a dewalt torx bit and sprayed som penetrating oil on the bleder screw. Then the torx snapped off.. time to weld a nut on and give it another try

[rarefruit]

Don’t forget to use a little anti-seize when you put the new blender screw in

[TheWaterman]

Huh.. Found out after getting a raybestest caliper set on I noticed the bleeder was broken off. They where nice to include a new one in the box 😒

[Alignnitro]

trick is to use a small wrench only, so it prevent you to put too much torque. If it won't break lose, time to bring out the torch.

[jerseyjim]

Designed to break so you have to buy new calipers.

[redpill]

if you are using heat, pour lots of water after you stop heating.

[DrHumorous]

Good job. The worst is the music, then this happen.

[amankumar-zjwe]

Can we drive the car without changing calliper bleeder screw

[sdigitize]

leaving WD40 treatment for an hour and then boilwater pouring then extraction be easy
