Re: [FWDLK] Newbie

Frozen bleeders can be freed. Presoak the bleeder with a good rust remover or some PB Blaster for s day. Use some flame, propane will do, and heat the area around the bleeder but not the bleeder itself. Get it so it's just glowing red. Then smack the bleeder screw dead on with a hammer, maybe more than once. Bleeder should come right out. I usually end up using a pair of vise grips so you'll want to replace the screw, prefereably with a stainless steel one if you can find it.

Thanks again to all for the welcoming messages.

Just finished replacing the master cylinder this afternoon. Will start
tomorrow on the rest of the hydraulics. Anticipating frozen bleeders and so
on. But, as there's no straw boss tallying up the hours, I guess I have
plenty of time for that task. Really looking forward to getting this rig
back on the road.

Cheers,
