[Shotimes] Brake questions!

[Bruce Malachuk]

hit it with a little heat from a torch, then go to town with the vicegrips
like Paul suggested. I had to do that to my rear driverside OEM bleeder
screw when I changed to Speedbleeders. 1 min with a propane torch, then a
pair of vicegrips loosened it like butter.
