the bleeder valve on the rear drum snapped of, It isn't leaking when the pedal goes down, however I still will need to get it out to bleed the brakes. so how do I get it out to replace it?
thanks, David |

| You'll prolly have to drill it out and wedge a small flathead screwdriver in to back it out. I don't know if Easy-Outs go that tiny? |

Easy outs come pretty damn small... and they also make reverse-cut drillbits.
Hammer an allen wrench in there, see what that does for ya. |

| Probably easier to just replace the wheel cylinder. They are cheap. |

| I like Kyle's idea to hammer in an allen wrench. I think that will work! |

| just get a new cylinder. if the bleeder valve was rusted in there that bad, chances are the rest of it is getting FUBAR as well. |

| Exactly. For the 10 to 15 bucks you'll spend on a new wheel cylinder, you'll save yourself all the headaches involved with trying to salvage the old cylinder that might be shot anyway. The key to making the bleeder valves live is putting that rubber cap back on the outside, as it keeps crap from getting inside it, causing the bleeder screw to break off. |
