69 c10 Bleeding brakes question
I just installed new cylinders on the front of my truck and was getting ready to bleed them when I noticed that I could not get a open end wrench on them to bleed them like I could the rear when I changed them. Anyone know the appropriate tool to use to be able to get onto the bleed valve in the front??

Re: 69 c10 Bleeding brakes question

I have the same problem on my '69 Suburban. The bleeder screw is too close to the spindle. It has the long bleeder screws and I'm wondering if the short ones would be better. I think I am going to remove the bleeder screws, plug the holes, and clearance the spindles with a die grinder... I can't even get a 1/4" drive socket on mine. LockDoc

I had this problem too on the kids 67 before we did the disc swap even this wrench wouldnt fit.
