Stripped bleeder bolt

[Rafa]

Need a little help.....
2008 F250 right front.
I just picked up a new caliper because old one was rusted pretty good where the inner seal was. Well, I'm trying to loosen this bleeder bolt and stripped it. I used a regular 3/8(what specs said it was) wrench and flare nut and both would not grab. I put penetrating spray on it 1st for a good while. I tried to heat it up and still nothing(not sure how much heat to put). 1st time doing this as well, so hope I didn't screw it up to bad. the flare nut wrench wants to grab it,but it starts to slip. Damn bolt is on there super tight.

Hmmmmmm replace the whole car?

Or caliper.

Can't get some vice grips on it?

Channel locks, vice grips, WD 40, a torch.... Then just change it out.

Anyone know the torque specs for banjo bolt and the caliper pins.
Forgot to buy the damn manual when i was there.

Only thing I found is for a 2005 F250

Caliper pin: 27ft-lbs
Caliper banjo bolt: 37ft-lbs


Does that sound about right for an 08'

thanks

You have to use a small hammer and tap the end of a brake line wrench to get them bitches loose or they will strip like that every time. I just snug them up, no gorilla strength or anything.
