Simple and Genius

Slowly reaching the end of the internet during the 2020 Quarantine, and saw this nifty little trick for dealing with stubborn brake bleeder screws:

Some bleeder screws won't budge...and most just reach for the vise grips first thing.....but that should be the SECOND thing you reach for. Using vise grips alone  will 99% of the time result in rounding off or otherwise destroying the bleeder screw, so a new one will need to be purchased.  Lame.

So grab a proper brake flare wrench first, then, if the bleeder still won't break free (they are quite often very stubborn), then add a little pressure with the vice grips.   That will help keep the wrench from spreading apart and loosing its grip.  On, and a little penetrating oil won't hurt either,

You're welcome.
