    Thermostat bleed screw stuck

    Replaced some hoses yesterday, refilled w distilled h2o and ww, and now thermostat bleed screw is totally frozen. Pbblaster overnight and it won't budge still. I'm already starting to strip the 8mm screw. Anyone know of another way to bleed the system?

    u can lift the front of the car up to make the coolant tank the highest point. this will help. Might try a little heat on the screw. use a propane torch or something to expand the metal. then try and remove it
