Good tip to be had here if they ain't shifting. Someone else on here came up with this one so I can't claim the credit. Put the backend of a suitably sized drill bit in the nipple hole before you undo it. Stops it collapsing.

And someone else also said to file off a bit of the screw at the arrival of the brakefluid, there is, and using his words, enough meat on that screw to file off some... makes it easier to put a pipekey over the nipple..
