Re: Alfetta bleed screws

Hi Don:

Get some PB Blaster and the correct size (7mm) box (not open-end) 
wrench.  You might even try a deep socket to initially break them free, but 
try to be gentle.  I like to use Teflon tape when installing 
bleeders.  Just a single layer, and I've never had a leaky or frozen 
bleeder, yet.
