That time a broken brake bleeder screw in a 2005 Civic taught me to always use anti-seize

I was working on my buddy's Civic last Saturday in my driveway and snapped the bleeder clean off, then spent 3 hours drilling it out, and now I hit every bleeder screw with anti-seize before I even touch it, has anyone else had a bleeder seize up on them?

My 2010 Accord had the same thing happen on the rear caliper, took me a full Saturday with a torch and an extractor set to get it out. Now I hit every bleeder screw with anti-seize before I even touch them, especially on older hondas. Learned that lesson the hard way for sure.

Preach, nothing builds character like fighting a stuck bleeder screw on a saturday with a torch and a lot of bad words.
