Nope, have not broken them (yet) -- I was thinking of having my Indy
remove them before I get a chance to break them. But if i can remove
them myself I'd rather.
yep, I have replacements. Actually i had planned to replace the
calipers with a pair I had bought but they have a different bolt
dimension. I bought a set of R & R calipers from a list member but wil
have to check records to remember who. The fronts worked perfectly.
Hmm... Vise Grips..... Yeah, I can try that - I have a new pair with
sharp teeth that should cut into the valves rather than rounding it....
yeah, a EZ-Out - I don't know about the rest of the B-I-Yers (break it
yourself as opposed to Fix it yourself) here but every time I have tried
an EZ Out I usually break the tool off in the thing I'm tryng to remove
or I round it out. It seems dirt simple - insert, apply CCW force to
break loose but it never works for me. ;-) Suggestions on what I
might be doing wrong? I have learned one thing - getting a piece of
hardened tool steel out of a small hole is tough!
I'll ponder your suggestion while i read the rest of the list
suggestions. Thanks!!
Sincerely,
LarryT

replace the old ones once you get them out? If so, use the alrgest pair of
vice grips you can get in there, with nice sharp teeth. Shoud be able to
either unscrew them (though they might not be round anymore) or break them
off so an EZ-out can be used to finish the job.

Hi Gang -
I need to remove the bleed valves from the rear calipers on my '91
300D. It looks like someone used a pair of pliers on them at one time
(definitely not me) and rounded them off. (Same for the rubber hoses
between the caliper and chassis).
I have a set of reverse drill bits as well as some things intended to
remove stuck screws/nuts/etc by digging into them and unscrewing them.
The thing is, I haven't had much luck getting them to dig into the parts I
need to remove - I end up drilling a shiny hole in the thing I wanted to
remove. and i'd rather not start something I can't finish on the 300D -
it's my wife's car. I have a stud remover but I don't think there's enough
room to fit it onto the Bleeder.. I need to confirm that though -
So, what's the best way to remove the bleeder valves? I really need
to change the fluid...
Thanks!
