Hey Guys,

Turns out the front w/cylinders on my 66 val are going to set me back $25 each unless I can rebuild 'em. $50 is too much to spend until I know if I am keeping this thing. I got too much $ in it already!!!!

So I got one front bleeder out using the torch and wax method. The second one broke off. What to do now?? I have never had much luck drilling them out. Seems like the tips are hardened and I can't drill all the way through them.

Do any of you you have a magic trick for this??

Thank you!!!

Chris E.

Well I destroyed it..................

But if anyone has a good trick I'd still like to hear about it.


Thanks,

In a pinch you can bleed the wheel cylinder by breaking loose the line at the wheel cylinder as someone pushes the brake pedal.

Also use the feeler gauge method from my high school shop teacher.
With the drum removed pull the dust boot back and slide a thin feelers gauge at the top of the cylinder, past the cup to bleed the air out. this takes two people so have a helper. Crude method but can save ya a few bucks and some down time.

Yes. Get the new wheel cylinders and save the frustration.
