Wheel cylinder
This probably should be in the brake forum, but the problem arose yesterday on my '60 1500 RWD..
After getting my clutch finally fixed (so I can go), I have begun on a front brake problem (so I can stop).
The right front cylinder is completely crudded up with a 60 year brake fluid/moisture cement.
I recently re-did the back ones (for leaks, not stuck) and I think the cylinders are available at reasonable cost.
The 3/8" bolts that hold the cylinder to the backing plate are refusing to loosen, however.
It may take removing the whole plate to get to them unless someone has a great idea.
I thought I may have rebuilt them 40 years or more ago, but now doubt it, since the pistons cannot be removed without the taking out the cylinder, because of a bracket that has two ears extending over its ends.
I am stuck, but not stymied and if anyone has recently worked in this area and has nothing to do this MLK Day, chime in.
Thanks
