Front brake wheel cylinder removal issues
I cannont get the wheel cylinder bolt loose on the passenger side. This is the single bolt version that holds on the wheel cylinder. Is this by any chance a left hand thread? I have beat it, out the pb blaster, cheater bar, i even drilled a small hole in the top of the cylinder flange at the top of the cylinder hoping the pb blaster could penetrate the threads. I assume this is a normal right hand thread but would listen to any advise. Thanks

Re: Front brake wheel cylinder removal issues
is this the big bolt that goes through the wheel cylinder? it should have a nub on the end of it that holds the springs that attach to the brake shoes. if so, its just a normal leftsy loosey thread. you have access to a pneumatic impact gun? thats usually the only way that i can get them off.

Good luck. Do your best not to strip the bolt head. It took me about two hours to get this thing off. Keep hitting it with a penetrating fluid and heat the head if you have a torch. let it cool get a large breaker bar for the most leverage and good luck!
