Since I will have to eventually bleed the system, what is the best way to unfreeze the bleed screws on the back wheel cylinders and front calipers. I did put some penetrating oil on yesterday but I haven't had much in the past.
Thank you, again.

to get the bleed screws to open/loosen using a small propane torch head heat up the blled screw till it glows red slightly... then with the LINE wrench setting in ice water ready for use place cold wrench on the bleed screw and gradually increase torque...the cold wrench will rapidly shrink the fitting screw then rotation to loosen will be possible..
before doing this giving the penitrating oil a few days to work is best...not all penitrating oil is equal.. WD-40 IS NOT PENITRATING OIL.
