Rear bleed nipple seized

Use a proper penetrating fluid. WD40 is a jack of all trades not really a penetrating fluid.

Plus gas or easol are much better. 

 

Could also try heating the caliper although this will knacker your paint most likely.

Try and give it a bit of shock by getting a good hit on it with a hammer, difficult as you don't want to damage the nipple. 

Worse case scenario it will shear and need drilled and tapped or make a total balls of it and need a new calliper

Both my rears did this :( had to gave them to an engineering company on the south coast  to drill and put new valves in! Annoying as my mate who fitted them lived a couple of hours away but wasn't his fault. Cost £40-50 so wasn't too much drama. At least I know they are sorted for the future.
