[T3] Brake bleeding and other hydraulics


I'm going to be getting my Fasty out of her long-term hibernation and
one of the first orders of business is going to be a 4-wheel brake bleed
and replacement of brake hoses.

I am terrified that I'm going to snap off the bleeder screws- even
though I've only done this once in my entire life. What can you guys
recommend here for me? Is there a trick to this? Lots of liquid wrench
for days, then bleed? Hitting the bleeder screws with the propane torch
sounds a little risky, what with the proximity of highly flammable brake
fluid.

And what, if anything, can I use so they don't sieze up in the future?
