[TR] 57 TR3 Front Brake Bleeder

[Dave]

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.

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?
