Brake issue
So i went to go bleed my brake when i found out that both my rear bleader screws are seized in my calipers. Is there anyway i can get them out and not have to buy whole new calipers?? When i turn the screw the "hex" part twists. Please help

Soak it with penatrating oil for a couple of days. On about the third day, grab onto it tight with a vice grips. They should come out. Just be careful not to twist them off as then you will need to get new calipers.

The hex part in in perfect condition. When you turn the screw only the part with the hex on it moves the part in the caliper stays put.
Is it possible to keep spraying PB blaster on the bleeder screw while the caliper on the car, IE when i stop spray it, or does it have to soaked??

well, if the bleeder screw itself separated into peices, it's probably fubar'd anyway. Didn't you buy a set of speedbleeders? Trying to put them in? I guess soaking it with PB and use some vice grips, you can get it out.
