Brake repair

So we have worked out we need a new master cylinder.

Fitted that, now we have to bleed the system, wheel nuts are absolutely stuck, tried many things like, oversoak in wd40 and a rattle gun, they will not move.

we have a torque multiplier as well but the socket walls are too thick, no space for it to fit over the nuts.

Any tricks out there?

thanks

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
