Bleeding Brakes...F*%K!!!
Replaced front pads and calipers my '97 F150. Decided to flush brake system with new fluid. Everything started off great however, I CANNOT GET THE REAR BRAKE BLEEDER VALVES LOOSE! I've tried everything in my toolbox. Even got some Blaster/Penetrating spray.
I've used an open ended 10mm wrench and socket wrench to no avail. I'm at my wits end and don't want to have it towed to a garage.
Anybody have any tips or tricks or any suggestions to loosen these bleeder valves?
TIA

Are they rounded off ? Or just tight ? Rounded off I would try vise gripes and then replaced. Tight .. I would used a boxed end wrench or a six point socket and tap it with a hammer. I believe they are 10mm.

Kroil or PB'laster.
Heat.
Bust 'em off, drill out, use a screw extractor.
