Front brake bleeding screws don't match back, and wont come loose
Front brake bleeding screws don't match back, and wont come loose
I know I've bled all these before (10 years ago at least...can't remember a thing). 98, 24V, auto 2wd,. I just bled the back brakes....5/16 inch wrench is what I used and it fit perfectly,. I got to the front ones and they were larger,..and seemed to be NOT a standard size. The closest I could get was a 10mm and it would eventually just cam over it. I can't get a 9 on there,. Should I take ahammer and force a 9 or a 3/8 (think I tried about everything but didn't force the issue. (If this happenned to me many years ago,..I probably just pounded a socket over the bleeder. Ok, Any ideas...yes , there is rust on this bleeder screw.
Soak em in Kroil and then make sure you have two new ones on hand and lockjaw them loose....remembering they are hollow and if corroded to the cast caliper can break off. I always anti-sieze them every time I mess with them....
Maybe this is what that dang 11/32" end wrench is for. Is that even a size?? Why??
