It’s amazing how much less stuff I break using 30 seconds of propane heat on most any bolt underneath.

Even this came apart….

Remove the caliper, open the bleeder, push piston(s) in. Start bleeding line normally (with a bleeder). The remaining old fluid will be a tiny drop in passage between bleeder screw and piston.
