good lord.......

the day before you bleed the brakes spray pb blaster, or a 50/50 mixture of acetone and transmission fluid on the bleeders. a line wrench, or 6 point sockets usually works pretty good, but before you try to loosen the bleeders, take a moment to take a small hammer and TIGHTEN the bleeder with a light tap first. yeah... i know. then, again with the hammer, light taps to loosen the bleeder. it sorts of works like an impact hammer, and as long as you don't go stupis rambo with the hammer, usually works. as for gettin a bit of brake fluid on you being a problem, a thicker brand of underwear usually helps.

ok.....ok.... i'll stop.

the key is, lots of penetrating oil, and patience.
