foothilltom 33 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Howdy gents, I managed to snap the little god-forsaken bleeder valve right off today (as opposed to gently tapping it) in a project that started out as bleeding the brakes. My question is: how would one go about fixing this little problem? Should I try to drill out the offending screw, and tap in a new hole, or is there some easier way? I'm really hoping there is. My Chilton manual is very sketchy on how to remove the drums themselves...I figured I'd have a better shot at a solution with them off the car, but I can't seem to make that go either. In short, opinions on how to progress with a broken bleeder valve. Thanks! 4-wheel drums. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SELLERSRODSHOP 13 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 if worse comes to worse, just replace the wheel cylinder with a reman unit. it would probably be easier to work on the bleeder valve by removing the wheel cylinder anyway. is it front or rear?
