Hi Geoff,
If all you are trying to do is get the calipers bled then try to do it by
cracking the feed line loose. Most every time I have had one of the bleeders
stuck like that I have ended up snapping them off even after heating them up
and using PB penetrating oil. The bleeders are far too weak for the job.

I have rounded the 3/8 front bleed nipple, and cannot free it.  My mechanic,
Neville, needs to know if it is a taper, or a ball valve.  The calipers,
AFAIK, are original, and I think, rebuilt by White Post.

Help please!
