I recently had problem with several bleeder fittings and with a brake hose
connection.
I used a product called "PB Blaster" (most parts stores, about $4 a spray can).
This
stuff works!! I have since started using it almost exclusively in lieu of all
the other
'potions' we try. It looks like orange milk out of the can - not your typical
penetrant
at all. I appied to the bleeders 2 or 3 times over a 2 day period - then tried
with a
flare nut wrench and all were free.
Good Luck.
