My brake fluid is getting dark and I'd like to flush it. I tried to loosen the left front bleeder but it is very tight and I broke it off. I tried the left front and it is very tight. I stopped before breaking it. How would you suggest removing the broken one and how do I get the other three loose without breaking them.
Thanks, Ted

Step 1 soak them bad boys with some PB blaster penetrating oil do this the night before and about a half hour before you try to loosen the bleeders, worked for me and I just did a brake job on mine earlier this week.

As for removing the broken bleeder I'm not sure you can I remember reading of members here having to replace the entire caliper instead.

You can try a extractor bit. Craftsman makes a really good one that works perfect for me. If you don't already have them, next time get the brake line wrenches. They prevent damaging the brake brass pieces.
