What I have found that works real good is heat the bolt nut or you case bleeder up and take candle wax or crayon and melt it in on threads . It has worked for me better then blaster or other penetration lubes .
Good luck !

Yep should work fine on a bleeder . The yellow tanks are map gas and burn much hotter though .

one thing that has always worked for me is putting pressure on the wrench and smack the end of the bleeder screw with a hammer. ussually causes enough vibration to jar it loose.
