I had a bleeder that would not come off. I had to bleed the brakes at the line. I used 7mm wrenches, vice grips, PB, MAPP torch, everything and I was sure that I was going to shear the bleeder and then, it struck me! I replaced the friggin' brake cylinder. It was a bargain after all the man hours I had wasted trying to get the bleeder open.
Replace the cylinder and put on speed bleeders, available almost everywhere or on the internet

I'm trying to adjust the rear brakes and I wanted to take a look at the shoes and brake cylinders first but I've been whacking at the 46mm nut with no luck for the last 30 minutes....I wonder if I could apply some PB Blaster on the nut to help loosen it.... I got the vice grips ....... On 7/6/07, sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I thought the same thing. I didn't even know he was on the list.
