Ha. Sounds funny but it's really not. The dang socket won't budge off the bleeder. I don't remember if I put a 7/16" or 11mm on there. But it's on the needle so far there's no room for leverage to get the socket back off. Any suggestions??? Thinking about cutting a hole in the floorboard but don't really want that hole there, and even if we done that I'm still not sure if it would be good enough to get the socket off.

Also... to get the quick connect in, I assume we have to crack the bleeder some?? Once we crack the bleeder, we can get the quick connect in? Then after the quick connect is in and while the bleeder is still open, we'll bleed the system to get the air out, and tighten the bleeder and should be good to go??

 

You do not want to leave that socket on there.

You shouldn't need to crack the bleeder to get quick connect on.

Have you tried a magnet, a piece of hose slid over the socket, offset needle nose pliers?
