Default How to prep for brake flush?

Had the experience of bleeder screw broke off caliper on a different car due to rust and it was a nightmare. With the recent snow, salt, and moisture, I'm not 100% confident in turning that bleeder screw which has probably been sitting untouched for years.

Would spraying wd40 and let it sit for a few hours help? Thanks!

I would use PB Blaster instead. It's designed to soak into metals/rust to help brake it loose better than WD-40.
