Not to mention the lines may be seized to the line nut and may twist right off without some wiggling. Be prepared to replace the line if it gets broken.

I went to bleed the brakes on my brother's truck yesterday and found that the bleeder valve is not only rust-welded on, but also stripped so badly that I can't fit a wrench on it. I need it fixed today if possible. Anyone have any ideas? thanks, josh |

Vicegrips or pipewrench to grab it if a flare end wrench won't. Try some sort of penetrating oil to soak it, PB Blaster works well. Push comes to shove you can swap out the cylinder. $10 at kragen for a new one. Chances are the brake line nut is still fine so that shouldn't be a huge hassle. Just make sure you use a flare end wrench because those fittings are soft and will strip easily as well. |

So far, copius amounts of PB Blaster and a pair of vice grips have finally allowed me to remove the driver's sice bleeder screw (and I replaced it with a nice shiney new one). I ran out of daylight, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow for the Pass side. thanks for the help. -josh |

A small question about bleeder screws : does anyone know the thread on the disc brakes caliper ('67 dart) of the bleeder screws? I've read somewhere 3/8" X 24. I'd like to order some from speedbleeders but not sure about the thread... Thanks for your help Marc |
