It's Halfords release spray. Says it contains naphtha (petroleum). I've seen Screwfix sell plusgas but the postage cost on top is pricey. Persevered a little more and got it to undo in the end. Figure now is the time to replace the nipples though.

I've tried penetrationing spray, hitting the body of the caliper near the bleed nipple to shock it, wire brushing exposed thread, hitting spanner in direction to undo to add repeated shocks. Turning slightly in tightening direction. Tried using a socket. I note that 11mm seems loose but 10mm won't fit. What next? Blow torch? Just go for it and be prepared to buy a new caliper? (I'm thinking new calipers might be best anyway given they're nearly 20 years old.) Thanks in advance.

Tried renewing brake and clutch fluid. On the clutch bleed nipple I used a normal 9mm spanner. Both the ring end and flats slip and the nipple won't undo. 8mm just won't fit no matter what. Unsuccessfully tried encouraging it to start moving with some needle nose pliers. It appears to be made of plastic. Would a 9mm brake spanner work better? Is it likely to need a new slave cylinder? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

My headliner fabric is coming loose at the front from the stiffer part. Is there a specific glue that works particularly well? Thanks.
