There's only one hydraulic cylinder per wheel , each one has it's own bleeder
valve .
Id they're broken off , I'd scrap the cylinder , brandy new top quaLITY bENDIX
OR wAGNER ONES ARE AVAILABLE FROM rOCK aUTO (damn caps lock) , NAPA and other
fine FLAPS , some partshaus' sell crappy off brand cylinders you don't want as
they're dangerous .
Once in a blue moon you can use an " Easy - Out " to remove the broken off
bleeder screw but that's rare ~ most of the time the Easy-Out snaps off too .
If the cylinders are not leaking , you can hold them in place and use some
.002" shim stock *gently* worked in past the rubber cups , bleed *very* gently
else you'll blow the cups out of the cylinders while you have the drums off .
