so... how bad did I just screw up?
so, I was a little excited the other night making good progress on my 2 year long project almost being driveable. down to doing little things, and I decided it was time to fill and bleed the brakes. well I fill the reservoir and crack the rear bleeders no problem to get it to start gravity bleeding. go to the fronts (factory discs) and the first bleeder seemed a little stuck so I put some more arm on it and *snap*. Yep, clean off flush with the caliper. great, so I go to the other side. it is equally stuck but it rounds off instead. these calipers were rebuilt, but the truck has sat so long during the build I guess they just corroded in. is my only hope replacing the calipers? or is there some kind of trick way I can dig these out? I think I know the answer to this already, just not looking forward to it. already over budget on this build. just sucks that I am so close to being able to move it under its own power, and having something stupid like this happen *facepalm*
