    Default bleeder bolts

    the bleeder bolts for the cooling system can eventually freeze up causing the bolt to shear when removal is attempted

    might be an idea to gently try the bolts with a spanner and coat them in grease if they can be removed

    what to do if they cant be easily unscrewed? would penetrating oil be any help?

    my front one was sheared we removed it today by hammering a smaller spanner onto it, replaced it with a bolt from the wreckers, It was a pain to get off, hopefully my head is ok
