Hey I was just trying to be helpful. Some of your questions & statements indicated that you are not too familiar with working on brake systems. As for tubing & bleeder wrenches, using the correct tool will make the job go much easer.

Bleederwrench here.

As you can see it is offset, six point, and has a very small turning radius allowing access into tight spots.

Tubing wrench here, these can be purchased by the each in English, and metric as needed.

I just noticed you are from Washington, an ice melt free zone for the most part, therefore you haven’t had the pleasure of disassembling small chemically corroded threaded fasteners.

Well everything is finished!

wjajr, sorry if I came off snappy, it was not my intension. I was merely pointing out that I got the answers I was looking. I do appreciate all your comments (and they've always proved useful). I just didn't want the thread to become a Howto on bleeding brakes, because it is one of the few things I do have some experience with the brake system.

I have the same experience Before mi Whole Bearring almost Freeze on that same Wheel!!!


Please take off the tire and loose the break shoes until they dont drag on the drum,,than play with the DRum to look for Play, for sure is going to be your wheel bearring ($ 110 I pay to have the auto parts install newbearrings, grease seal, and grease,,ready for me to just put the drum back in place).

I replace mine yesterday, just the bearrings, and the car si driving nicely, no pulling at breaking.

most of the times the pulling to one side when breaking was at low speed.

thanks.
