Rounded of the bleed niple - Any tips on tools to use?

[Mawrick 0]

Tried a wisegrip to no avail, the bleed nipple is rounded of, any tips on how to get it out from the caliper?.

 

Just thought I'd check before getting the sledgehammer :)

lots of plusgas on the thread and then try some molegrips. its only a small thread so be careful! shouldnt require too much force though

As above but I usually try a "rocking" action back and forth rather than just trying to unscrew it in one go. Grab it with the grips and just move it back and forth till it starts to give. Best of lick with it.

An 8mm irwin visegrip damaged bolt remover should work.

Hit it with a big hammer and then try mole grips, Shock treatment normally works!

Stilton works the best in my experience.
