Matt, I have successfully used anti-seize on the threads of the bleeder for many years now, and had much less trouble. I just make very sure that I put it on the threads only, so the brake fluid doesn't get contaminated. I used anti-seize on my exhaust pipe to manifold bolts over 20 some years ago and when they had to come off, it made all the difference in the world ! Anti-seize is some great stuff. Armand snip I'm this close (imagine me holding my index finger and thumb close together) from fixing the brakes on the 67 American wagon I picked up just before Christmas and I want to avoid a problem I've had with my 68 American - frozen bleeder screws. The big problem with them (from what I was told when the last one broke when the master cylinder was being changed out) is that the screws are only 1/4" so any stubbornness at all just about guarantees that they'll snap off. Any suggestions on what I can do to them to reduce the likely hood of them seizing on me? I've though of plain on anti-seize compound but I'm not sure how well that reacts with brake fluid. Thanks, Matt
