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 |

six point sockets are a must!
