Realizing that this might mean that the cylinders are stuck pretty tight, are there any other suggetions before taps is played ?
Blue wrench time. I got some pretty badly frozen ones out with a propane torch. They’ll need resleeving, of course. I have taken an old threaded brake line fitting and removed the brake line, tapped the hole in the fitting for a grease nipple and harmlessly blooped the frozen piston out of the corroded wheel cylinder using my grease gun. The grease gun is probably good for several hundred or more psi and nothing is recocheting off the rafters when it all comes loose – and it will come loose! Just a quick note. I had the same problem with my brake cylinders and the careful use of heat did not move them, nor did compressed air. I read once that hydraulic pressure from a grease gun could move them but just try and get a fitting!!!! I finally took a bolt that fit the thread size and carefully drilled it down the center and then drilled the head end to accept a tap the size of a grease fitting. This method moved every cylinder, no matter how badly stuck, within seconds. It takes a little ti
