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

Trey, bust out the blow torch [with map gas].
It'll come off.

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 .......
