hit all the nipples with a wire brush. it will hurt
then spray a penetrating lubricant on there. i find that pb blaster works waaaay better than wd-40. spray them a few times the day before you will actually bleed your brakes. i got my o2 sensor out with minimal effort by spraying the it ahead of time.
bust out your 10mm wrench and go to town. if the wrench doesnt wanna grip, then you will probably have to get some vise grip pliers.

maybe post some pics

Is it the front or rear bleeders? If you force them they could possibly snap off (which happened to me on my Camaro). If this happens then you would have to definitely replace them. Why did you take it to Goodyear when you could have done brakes yourself? Goodyear is way to pricey for me, so I am glad I do most of my own work. The system DOES NOT have to be bled unless you are replacing a caliper, brake hose or line. If the caliper bracket slides are good and the piston retracts, then replacing and rebleeding IS NOT necessary. So just replace the pads and machine or replace the rotors.

its def both fronts. brakes have always been one of those things i dont want to mess with myself. my pedal will go down and i can feel the brakes touching but i have to push pretty far to get a good grip. if i had to stop and fast, which ive tried on an empty road, it doesnt happen. compared to other cars i drive my pedal has just been ****ty. just had car inspected told pads and rotors fine.
