Brakes problem
1988 Chevy Caprice V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I'm trying to bleed my brakes but the valve on the rear passenger side is froze. I need to know if there is any other way to bleed the brakes, and if I can do it from the line. If so, how?

your going to have to free up that bleeder. hit on the housing all around the bleeder with a hammer and jar thigns up a bit. then try to put a 6 point wrench on it and tap it tighten direction then tap it loose way. if it wont move you may have to apply heat but be careful or youll be rebuilding the caliper.
