Default brake bleeder valves
I've got a 76' with front drums, and the bleeder valve is rounded off any tips on how to get this out?

If theres some flats left, you coud try tapping on a smaller six point socket,
A little heat will help, good vise grips should do it.

Pipe wrench. Done deal. Just buy the new ones to replace. They are cheap.

I had this same problem today. I used a dremel tool to reshape the bleed valve, made it rectangular and backed it off with vise-grips.
