How dangerous is it to heat them with a Mapp gas torch? I did this once but
the caliper was out being rebuilt.

Subject: [MBZ] Removing Corroded Bleed Valves
Howdy!
The bleed valves on the rear calipers of my 91 300D 2.5T are corroded
so
badly they will not unscrew. Attempts to grab them with a vise-grips or
similar results in the bleeders starting to collapse as they are turned.
I haven't had any luck with easy-outs - last time I tried one it broke off
inside the bleeder! No fun there!
So, what works? What doesn't?
Thx -
