Sounds like a similar situation I am having with my brake bleeders on
the rear of our w124. I tried the suggestions from the list and had no
luck. I may have to drill them out.... I have some left hand drill bits
that may help...
Sincerely,
Larry

Does the system have to be bleed?
It is my understanding that when the valve is in the neutral position
fluid just circulates.

I have found Irwin's tools to be serviceable.
What's funny, considering the fact that Irwin moved the Vice-Grip
factory to China, is the labeling on the bolt extractor packaging.
"Made in USA with Global Components" - what does that mean when the
tool is forged in one piece? I hope it doesn't mean the blister pack
was made in USA and the tools inside were made in China.
At any rate, I agree with the Amazon reviewers who say the helical
Irwin are better than the straight splined Lisle. To use a Lisle
extractor on that flare fitting, I would have had to hammer it on and
then I would have had to hammer it out of the tool.
Now the bleeder is stuck in the control valve, and since the other
end of the line goes into the control valve ABOVE the bleeder, I
can't easily cut the line to put the extractor on the nut. Why would
the control valve bleeder be below the outlet pipe to the spheres, is
there a good reason to make sure the air goes to the spheres and not
to the bleeder?
Mitch.
