Being hollow, I'm always afraid to put any slow brute force on these, so I will (in the case of the original 8mm bleeders) put the box end of an 8mm combo wrench on the bleeder valve and knock at the the wrench with a small ballpein hammer. Haven't broken one this way ... yet. Surely have the other way.
