1989 Jeep Wrangler clutch bleeding valve won’t turn

[Tdg]

1989 Jeep YJ Wrangler. I let the fluid run dry, so now I am trying to bleed the air out that is no doubt in the line. I can’t get the bleed valve open. Any ideas on how to loosen the valve?

wd 40 or blasters, let it sit for while.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll give another spray and some time.

I see marks on both the line end and large nut holding the bleeder nipple. Have you tried to open the actual bleed nipple? Brake line wrenches work wonders.

I was able to loosen the nipple instead.

While I haven’t bled my clutch before, I do know WD-40 works wonders

Pb blaster or nothing.

I am in the same position currently, but my bleeder nipple broke off, is there any way to bleed the system without having to replace the whole thing?

If you can drill the fitting and get an easy out to extract it. And when ever you put a new one in use antiseez. Good luck
