Not knowing which brake system you have, I sent several. When opening the bleeders, BE VERY CAREFUL not to break one off. Use a 3/8 breacer bar with the appropriate size "6" point socket and try to rock the bleeder back and forth until it comes loose. If you break the bleeder off, you open up a whole new can of worms. Good luck. Also, as you're bleeding the brakes don't let the master cylinder run dry, or you'll have to start all over again.
