Default plug pin issue ?!?!?!?

I have an 02 954. I think the guy that owned it before me did the brakes himself and put lock tight or something on the plug pin on the rear caliper. Unless I am just remedial and cant get it off. Is it a reverse threading maybe. I didnt try that yet. But I pretty much stripped the plug pin trying to get it out of there to do my brakes.

Any idea how I can get this off? I already ordered a new one since mine is pretty much shot now

It's not going to be a reverse thread. I'd try to heat it up some (the bleeder screw) with a torch, being careful not to cook anything in the process. Otherwise you may end up having to get a screw extractor kit. Good luck

I called my dad who has a screw extractor. He has to drill it out to get that bit in to extract it.

He told me to try tapping it with a hammer while the screw driver is in there it might loosen it up. I dont know its pissing me off though

Yeah, those little screws are made of brass and are real soft. The previous guy probably over tightened it. You'll get it though.

Well I tried everything last night it wouldnt budge. I put some jb weld on it today before I came to work trying to cold weld a screw bit to it. If that doesnt work I will drill it out. I never thought doing a brake job could be this much of a night mare.
