Replaced all the rusty brake and tranny lines on the truck. 99ram. The driver side rear bleeder screw is stripped. Truck is used and I have never bled the brakes on this truck. Not much room to work on that side. It appears that the bleeder is now between 7 and 8 mm. Kicking my a_ _!!!!!!!!! I used heat and vice grips. Any suggestions!

 

An easy-out might do the trick, might not. If not, it's new wheel cylinder time.

 

If you can't get it out easily, I wouldn't bother with it and waste the time. Oreillys sells them for $9.00, I think.

 

When I did mine recently, do them in pairs, I relented getting the drum shoes back on. My quick grip was the greatest help ever.

Just get new wheel cylinders and bleeding is a cinch. Just don't damage the nut for the brake line where you are insisted to use a flare wrench.

PB spray your next lover!!!
