Larry - you might try the PB Blaster treatment, and then hammer on a proper
size box-end wrench. I've found that trying an open-end wrench is just
asking for it to be rounded off. And I have an offset 10mm just for those
hard to reach and stubborn M-B fasteners!

Subject: [MBZ] Bleed Screw Removal
Howdy -
I checked my rear caliper on the 91 300D (W124) and noticed the bleed
screw is not in very good condition. I cannot get a wrench on it as the
flats are too damaged. Vise Grips only damaged the screw further. I
suspect I'll probably remove the caliper to do this as access is limited
with it in place.
Any suggestions for removing it without leaving half of it in the
caliper? I suspect I may have to spring for some reverse drill bits - I
believe Eastwood sells them --
Happy New Year --
