Thanks for the suggestions! They all seem like good ideas and I wish I had the money for any of those tools lol. The tack weld would be my choice probably if I had something to weld with since it seems safest and least likely to cause damage as long as the weld holds.

But the heat idea seems interesting. I do have a small butane soldering torch. Would that be suitable or am I going to melt or overheat something? How long would I apply heat to it? Or would running the car heat it up enough to maybe make a difference?

I didn’t clearly specify in my original post but it’s the 1999 chevy lumina where I was looking for the bleeder.

Although I did look at her truck today and eric’s advice on now throwing parts at things without investigating first held true. Once I had a chance to look at it, it just needed the upper hose replaced.
