Did you heat the fronts up frist? I know that feeling all to well, when you think it breaks free, only to have the head of the nut or whatever fall off in your hand. :-) Don't you just love fixing cars in the winter. hee hee

Well, after examining my rear calipers and finding both had damaged bleed screws I decided to look at the front calipers. Sure enough, the flats in the hex were damaged by what appears to have been pliers (!!). So, I tried to unscrew them - got a wrench on them and tapped it with a very small hammer - slowly. Sure enough, just when I thought they had broken loose then broke where they enter the caliper. #!!#$%## Says I. Seems the same monkey who worked on the rear brakes had been turned loose on the front brakes with a pair of pliers. Why someone without proper tools to open/close the bleeder would need to open and close the bleeders is beyond me. Changing fluid? Scarey. Oh well. I guess worse has happened to others - So, now I can either try to remove what's left of the bleed screws or save myself the hassle and install new or rebuilt calipers.
