Probably meant the seal on the piston.

If it was mine I don't the 6point socket as stated either with a 1/4 or 3/8 drive, the worse you do it break it flush with the caliper, then in that case you go get new ones. If you happen to loosen it up replace it with a new bleeder screw and check the threads to make sure their fine.
