On bleeders, you have to squirt the PB Blaster into it's hole to really be doing any good. They corrode inside.
Always use a sixpoint box or socket to initially break them loose, never a flare wrench.
Sears sells stripped bolt extractors that fit over stripped heads and are the cats *** for bleeders, and don't tend to crush them like vice grips or a pipe wrench.
They are a must have for working on vehicles over five years old.

Sorry, netscaner, I forgot you gave me the advice about the Sears bolt extractor and should have cited it in my post. (But you didn't mention the cat's *** part before. Makes the tool a must have.)
Anyway, best to get this done soon, while the truck is where you want it to be, not on some Podunk road in the rain at night when a brake line or wheel cyl. blows.
