A little tip from somebody that lives in the salt belt of the country, you use a torch and cold water to break them free, works every time, and when you install the bleeder screw put anti seize on the threads of the bleeder. No drilling, no cutting new threads, just heat and dousing it with cold water, a small tipped torch works like a charm.

I absolutely agree 100%! But I would also spray penetrating oil on it before you apply the heat. When it heats up the penetrating oil will bubble and become even thinner allowing it to sink into the threads. And as for the broken nipple, it's no problem ether. Just spray with oil, heat it up and use an "Easy Out" remover. If you don't know, an "Easy Out" remover is shaped kind of like a drill bit, but has reverse cutting edges made for going inside the nipple (or drilled, broken bolts) .

The first thing I do when replacing brakes is to loosen the bleeders. If you're going to break one off, do it now, at the start, rather than when you're all done. With any luck the cylinders and or calipers will arrive quickly while you're replacing the rest of the parts and save you some time.

I had the same trouble on my Ford Fairlane here in Australia from memory it’s an 8 mm so my view is you’ve gotta use a six sided socket for starters don’t use a 12 point socket because it rounds them off put a bit of heat around the caliper don’t put heat on the nipple Do you want the caliper to expand and the nipple to stay the same size as much as possible put a six sided socket on the nipple after you put penetrating fluid and let that sit for a bit Give it one swift crack and they come off.....!!!! Plus mine was rounded because I used the 12 point socket to start with and when I put the six point socket on I had to tap it on with a hammer so it was supertight and I think that actually helped And once I got those out..... I bought brand-new stainless steel replacement brake nipples from a specialist supplier and they were about five dollars each Australian so now next time should not happen again and if it does cease a bit..... the stainless steel is super strong And will not snap but if you’re not careful you might strip the thread on the caliper which is no good either so you have to still be gentle

Bad construction, some brands even mix metals... So it guaranteed to corrode stuck... Simpler solution, add some lock fluid on threads before mounting it, will block it mostly. I've done it for 30 years, no issues yet. Don't get lock fluid in brake oil tho ! Loosen the bolt, add a drop of it on thread and tighten it. Will block water getting in the thread from out side.

I agree. Some work with a steel brush, the penetrant, then a brass brush. More penetrant, and some back and forth torque would help the threads out without damage. Don't forget to give the materials time to work with your methods and make the physical labor less intensive, and mitigate damage to the fittings.

Too bad it was the front, slave cylinders for drum brakes are a lot cheaper. I think I'll start using antiseize on these, I've broken two. I found a little kit using an air hammer and an adapter that includes a wire you put down the hole to maintain patency. In my hands that thing doesn't work too well. One thing about oxyacetylene heat, it doesn't work so well on aluminum calipers....

I had my 2010 Toyota Tacoma front struts and brakes done at a local dealer. The tech forgot to install the brake reservoir cap after completing the job and I drove in the rain for 2 days before the brake light and ABS light came on. The tech said it was a ABS sensor so I bought new ones and plan to finish the brake job (rears) this coming week. Do you think I should have the brakes re-bled because the reservoir was open when I drove through a heavy rain storm?

Why are those bleeder valves not greased up. Mine are clearn and greased every service to protect them. Ifvtjis car has been serviced every year i do not understand this. Plus it must have has new discs and pads at least 3 times. What about the annual safety check. The amouht of rust on thise brakes woukd be a fail why hasn't thus vone up on previous services. Those brake calipers are beyond safe useage by a number of years

I haven't heard of someone greasing the brake bleed screws but I guess it would serve a purpose. Not sure how often the owner has the brake fluid flushed and replaced. As for replacing pads/rotors it would depend on how the vehicle is driven. I had a 07 Tundra that had 250k on it and I only replaced the factory front pads at 200k and the rear pads at 240k. It still had plenty of material on them. I guess it all depends on how you drive and the part of the country you live in.

Keith, in California the only inspection a vehicle gets is bi annual smog inspection, after the vehicle is 5 years old. No smog is required on vehicles from 1974 or older, (this smog inspection may have changed recently). No safety inspections are performed on small private vehicles. Commercial big rigs yes, they do get inspected by CHP.
