Hey guys, yeah, I meant that I rounded off the bleeder bolt heads and not the threads themselves. I have some penetrating oil and vice grips but how do I remove the bolt and install the new one without brake fluid going everywhere?

Also, I bought an offset 6-point box-end stubby 10mm wrench online today to deal with these crappy bolts in the future. I didn't help any that the front bolts seemed to loosen in the opposite direction of the rear bleeder bolts.

Another thin was the front bleeder valve bolts are harder to get at with the tires on than the rear ones, so in the future I will bleed before I put the tires back on.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
