At least remove the brake fluid reservoir cap to release pressure. I just opened the bleed nipples when I did mine.
This one should be waiting for me at the post office this afternoon.

I tried both opening the cap and cracking the bleed nipple. I couldn't get enough force to push back and turn by hand the piston.

Hopefully I can sort this out this afternoon - its costing me $50 a day to drive my Landcruiser to work.......
