The back brake bleed screws are so badly rusted in, that trying to turn them without stripping off the heads is turning out to be **** near impossible. So, I've soaked them in Kroil and I guess will try to get them off and replaced. Anyone have any other ideas?? :confused: Other than that, after six months of sitting in the garage the only leak I've noticed is off one the th400's cooler lines, and of course the carb is running a tad rich, and the speedo cable is making noise at 30 to 50 mph, and the radio doesn't work, but hey..progress!

Cool deal cowboy....my only suggestion on the bleed screws is to get them out anyway you can then replace them with new ones.....i've never seen them personally, but i imagine you could get them pretty easy by crossreferencing at a hardware store.
You can also lube that speedo cable....if it's the cable that's making the noise, relatively easy. You can unhook the cable from the speedo and the tcase, and pull the inaard cable out very carefully, lube it, and put it back in.

Hey... save your trouble of trying to kill yourself with bleeders.... just leave them in and buy new cylinders... only about $10 each and come with new bleeders!

i agree with RB on this one. bleeder valves are a dime a dozen but why not go ahead and replace the old with the new and you know you'll be good for many more years. i suggest trying to get some high quality bleeders if you go that route, you have no clue how many of those ******s i've messed up just trying to bleed the system.

I agree, go with new cylinders. I had the same problem and just put new cylinders in, they really don't cost that much anyway.

Buy new wheel cyllinders, and apply anti-sieze to the threads before you put the bleeders in, so you can get them loose next time.

I would agree with using Speed Bleeders. Stronger than stock, and making bleeding a breeze.
