Trying do the brake fluid (flush) ,went to loosen the bleeds ,...seems like they are made of steel, not brass. A real PITA to loosen them . Sprayed some " Kroil" will that penetrate overnight hoping to get off tomorrow .

Be patient, you may have to spray them several times. Worst case scenario, get new calipers if they are old and rusted up. Living in Mass, the weather is brutal on cars, trailers etc!
Also look up speed bleeders. Made in USA and all stainless. I can flush and bleed my trailer in 5-7 minutes by myself. Purchase the tube and bag while your at it so as not to make a big mess

Removed 1, the second one is a PITA ! Sprayed Super Creep, used a torch. Will not budge! Might try an "easy out" bit. Not much room to work.
Remove the caliper and take in the garage.Originally Posted by Marky1
FINALLY got it out using a bolt remover with impact drill. Nobody has that size fitting in my neck of the woods. Waiting for email from Trailer Store regarding if they have them.
Put new bleeders on , started to bleed/ flush ,… not having any luck . Bleeders are open, one at a time ,… nothing coming out after pumping for an hour . ��
Probably find one on a used drum laying in a junkyard
Drum for what ? " Tried " to bleed/Flush,.. opened on at time ,...nothing coming out of bleeders.
Figured it out,... There is a leak in the brake line inside the same tube that trailer harness goes through. Seems like I am going to cut the wire harness ,remove the the metal tube to fix the leak . What else is next ?
Why do you have to cut the harness?
I don’t , was just over thinking it , like a lot of things . Just remove the leaky one , install a new setup from the master cylinder , to the brakes . Ordered a new kit .
Is there a need to use “plumber’s tape “when installing new brake line ?
Not that I have ever heard.
Thanks
Installed new fittings ,started flushing the lines . One fitting was leaking while doing the other side (the leaking fitting was in tight), would not stop leaking no matter how far I loosened or tightened.
Ordered “Speed Bleeders” will give them a try . This trailer has been nothing but a nightmare!����
