Hello, I'm a newbie!! just inherited a 93 240 sx

Well here it is, i was bleeding my brakes, but was unable to bleed the left rear, the nipple seemed to be stuck, and i did not want to force it, just in case i broke it. Any suggestions on how to crack it? I used WD 40, but it still didn't crack

thanks

...Or WD 40. Also try some Liquid Wrench. You need to spray the entire area periodically, then just give it tiem before you can break it free. I also think that the 10 mm nipples can be easily stripped since the metal is a softer grade( I have only heard), so be careful!

If it strips, just use vise grips and get a speed bleeder to put in there.
