What actions did I undertake? I appreciate your inquiry! In the past few days, I replaced the ABS pump with one sourced from a salvage yard. The issue was C1095, which involved the 30 amp ABS fuse being blown. Replaced the fuse, which did not blow again; however, the ABS remained nonfunctional. It is now necessary to replace the pump. All I can express is, I am grateful for YouTube! Subsequently, the calliper bleeding duration; however, both front callipers exhibit significant rust, and the bleed screws are intractable. I dedicated time last nite to exploring methods on YouTube for extracting bleed screws without fracturing them. Today I attempted to detach the right-hand side one, but it remained immovable; however, I achieved success with the left-hand side one! Discuss the concept of rust. I tidied it up temporarily and applied copper grease to the threads. Modified for the time being until I can acquire new ones. The required size is an M8 thread with a pitch of 1.25.
Achieve your goal in ten days! To be resumed later....

Acquire new bleed screws in the event that the current one becomes damaged, apply a generous amount of penetrating fluid, allow it to sit for a period, and subsequently consider applying heat as suggested by Purple; then, use a wrench to grip it and strike it with a rubber mallet or deadblow hammer to attempt to dislodge it. If the thread is rounded, utilise a pair of mole grips instead of the spanner.

I endeavoured to remove the nut securing the air conditioning hose to a fixed stud in the right-hand side suspension turret of the Fiesta engine, and after exerting approximately zero Nm of force, the stud fractured at the base. However, that vehicle appears to have endured a lifetime in a salt marsh, as every single component is rusted, immobilised, and generally a nuisance.

YouTube - minor heat, penetrating oil, hexagonal socket, softly impact wrench.

Currently, life appears quite favourable! The sun is not only radiating, but I have also just successfully removed the second obstructed bleeder (yes, I selected that term intentionally!). It has just passed 2 o'clock, so I have time to check if I can acquire 2 substitutes nearby.
Subsequently, on that very day...
Indeed, I have come to realise that not all bleed screws possess the same quality... some are decidedly superior to others! Furthermore, motor factors no longer maintain an inventory of them. If they possess any, they are probably outdated inventory and likely not the appropriate sizes. Therefore, pay attention, esteemed reader, to place your online order in advance from Bigg Red to conserve a substantial amount of money. Ultimately, after spending five dollars on some that proved to be merely insufficient in length, I concluded at the Ford main dealership, which will procure them from Ford's primary stockroom for Saturday. I cannot disclose the amount.
Do you have any conjectures?
Currently assessing the condition of the rear ones...

Approximately £1.25 per unit from brakeparts.
Four of them for £7 from Amazon; they will arrive tomorrow if you possess Prime. They can be found at the following link: https://amzn.eu/d/0apa8Usr The M8 x 1.25 bolts are purportedly compatible with the front calliper of a Fiesta MK6, while the MK7 appears to utilise M10 x 1 bolts.
