is it normal for a bleeding valve on a brand new caliper to require a whole lot of force to unscrew it?
we even bought a second caliper just to see if ours was stuck or something

I had to put my whole weight on it with a breaker bar about 10 or 12 inches long
it's such a small screw..I was afraid to break it

I'm just wondering if it had already happend to you before

i just checked on the ones i have for my truck and it took very little force with a 1/2 ratchet. sounds almost like they cross threaded yours from the factory

mine are stock calipers for a 77 c10 tho

yea seems like it was cross threaded. Mine was so stuck one time, it just stripped off.
