Thanks Keith, I'll give penetrating oil a shot next time, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. The damn thing was that super tight from new. I got the car new and I'm the only one that has ever bled the brakes so it still has has the orginal fluid in that side of the caliper. Torching the caliper came to mind, but I really don't want to go to that extreme if at all possible. All the other bleeder screws come loose nice and easy so it's frustrating to only be able to bleed 7 out of the 8.
