rear wheel cylinders

Any suggestions on gettin those little buggers off,
I ended up turning the front wheels so i could throw a length of pipe on and break those loose , but i've kinda got the bed in the way on the back. I've already soaked em a couple times, and when that didn't work i gave the torch a try to heat em up,.
So i guess i'll be out in the garage jsut beatin on my wrench with a hammer, till i hear back from you guys.

If you have rounded the corners of the bolts, soak them down good with a penetrant and then use a chisel to turn them off by tapping on the washer that is made on the bolt. I am assuming that you have the stock 5/16" bolts with 3/8" hex heads with integral washer.

This works everytime for me. As a last resort you can chisel the heads off.

Good luck!

Jim

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
