    are you turning it the right way.

    what i sometimes do is get my old vacuum tube and use it as a breaker bar on my spanner, your gonna need to use more muscle.

    Find a spanner or socket that fits EXACTLY so as not to burr the edges.
    try just tapping the socket handle/spanner with a hammer to try and break the seal .... dont belt the crap out of it , just tap with slightly increasing force every few hits

    And yes as above .... use a breaker bar setup but just be careful u dont damage the caliper

    Heat the caliper with hot air gun until too hot to hold your hand on it.
    Calipers made of alloy, so will expand more than steel bleed nipple. Plus all the above.

    Heat it up. For something quick which isn't a fire hazard I use boiling water.

    everybody thanks so much , I figured id try everything. and it worked so much better then I expected compared to the struggle those things put up before !! I used brake fluid as a substitute for wd-40 left it , poured the boiling water over it , found a good tool and a metal bar to extend it and the 2 front nipples undo like a hot knife through butter. im not even the slightest worried about the back one now :thumb_ups: legend's !!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
