Renewing AHC fluid

[dominic]

Hi,
I have started to renew the AHC fluid and as advised in the forum, I sprayed the bleeder nuts with WD40.
Tried to unscrew them after 30 minutes, but they still seem to be seized and am afraid to apply any pressure incase I do damage. Might they be more free after a day or so or should I be sensible and take it to a proper mechanic?
Cheers,
Dominic.

I would try PB Blaster. Seems to work for most

When I first bled mine, I ordered an extra blead plug just in case I broke one. Might be something to consider.

Thanks, I'm in Ireland and can't seem to find it available locally on the web. But general consensus is it is really good. ( A lot of people seem to think WD40 is more for dispersing water and not much good for penetrating rust).
Will try to find it or the equivilant.
Cheers!

Spare bleeder might be a very good idea!

Use a hexagon wrench or socket to break it loose. Don't try a 12-star or open wrench until it moves.

OK uhu, thanks!

I even recommend nothing less than a closed box end. Make sure you're on it flat. Use a quick burst of PB on it 10 minutes before. You should be fine.
