I am getting ready to either rebuild my originals or looking to buy original / OEM replacement wheel cylinders for my 70 3/4 ton power wagon. Truck has been sitting for 30 years. I can only get 1 bleeder to work as rest are frozen and I don't want to snap them off.
What is best way to get the bleeder out? Heat? Propane torch? or if you snap them off to easy out them?
thnks,

Just get a set from any good parts store.Only reason for NOS would be a points build.heat they might come loose.But they will still need rebuilt if they arent totally corroded inside.Rocky

Moog is claimed to be some of the best. I normally buy what I can afford and it works just fine.
Moog is Federal Mogul's chassis brand. Their brake parts brand would be Wagner.

With patients, you can rebuild your original ones easy enough. A rebuild kit would be much cheaper and you can control the quality. Or else like mentioned, they are available over the counter.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.
