Hi guys, I was trying to flush the brake fluid on my ‘03 C5 Z06 and had a really hard time loosening the bleeder screw on the calipers. I tried to loosen it but was afraid I’d strip the screws if I had tried too hard.
The bleeder screw in the rear caliper is inside so I was also afraid I did it in the wrong direction. Because the screw is on the inside I turned it left from inside the car or right if I see it from outside the car looking at the caliper.
Any tricks that I can use. This is not supposed to be this hard

put a shallow 6 point socket on it to crack it loose but don't fully loosen it... once it's cracked loose you can snug it back up then put your hose over the bleeder and use a wrench to open it
