You need to take your car to a brake place. Unless you can find someone
knowledgable to help you, you're asking for trouble.

Good advice!

The bleed valve is easy to break off. If you don't know where it is take it
too a shop and spend the money or be prepared to learn about brakes.

It's hard to get a solid estimate from a shop on bleeding, if the bleeders
don't open or break you have to start replacing parts. <Shrug>, that's just
the way it is.
I get a 6 point that fits and tap gently with a small hammer until the
bleeder starts to turn. I have tapped as long as 5 min to get it loose & had
them just not come loose...

The easy way to bleed them is get the bleeders open, put a drip pan under
the wheel and let gravity do it. Don't let the MC run out! 8 times out of 10
this is enough.

 

Buy the little kit. It's $5. has a hose and
a little bottle with a magnet. It makes it easy
for 1 person to do it.
