Sometimes it's possible to trick the valve into moving with a shot of air applied to a bleeder. Sometimes letting the vehicle sit overnight is enough to cause it to move off its seat. Either way, if the valve moves the next step is to gravity bleed. Applying pedal pressure will only re-seat the valve and you will end up right back to where you started.

The tool is nice. I've never owned one.
