I had a similar problem with frozen bleeder screws. In the short term
I
bled the system by loosening the hydraulic line.
The ultimate fix was to
send the calipers off to Peter at Worldwide for
a professional rebuild. I
think this is a case where professional help
is needed. Don't scrimp on the
brakes.

Subject: [TR] 57 TR3 Front Brake Bleeder
Does anybody
know what thread type the bleeder screws are in a 57 TR3
front
brake
caliper?
At some point in the past, somebody broke it off and then filled
it
with JB
weld.
I expect to foul the threads removing this mess.
Anybody want to take bets as to whether or not there is a drill bit
broken
off in there as well?
