Lofti7 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hey guys, had to replace a section of bad brake line on my 83gl and while trying to bleed the brakes the bleeder valve snapped it’s on a rear drum any idea on what will work for a replacement ? I’m going to try to get the rest out without damaging anything but if I do what are my options? Replace the hub? Any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerGloyale Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 replace the wheel cylinder. Cheap and easy. Just put some penetrating oil on the wheel cyl bolts and hardline fitting before trying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Also, use anti seize when reassembling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Yea, I rebuild my own calipers/cylinders almost always. But I've never had any luck extracting bleeders. It's basically the only time I'll buy a caliper/cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
