Any tips for undoing rear bleed nipples on calipers?
#10
Exactly as per last two.

Wire brush it to clean the shit away. Copious plus gas on the cleaned area (rather than just wetting muck). Repeat for as long as you can before attempting to undo (i. E. Days)

Hit the top of the nipples a few times with a decent hammer.

Use only a six sided socket and be steady.

Exactly as Darren says if you hit them with a hammer the success rate is much higher.
