Newbie Question On Front Drums

Post by billybob_ca »

Hey there, have a 71 F250 camper special that I've had since new...redoing the brakes and am interested in tricks to getting the front bleeder screw... i mean who designed this? There's a bracket to fix the flex line to the hard line that screws into the wheel cylinder...thereby blocking access to the bleed screw. Now I've set into dismantling the hard/flex lines to get to the bracket to access the bleed screw...somebody must have a trick to getting this done in an efficient manner. Thx

Better Idea My a$$

Offset box wrench made to work on this kind of setup. You can get them just about anywhere, inherited my dads Snap-on set from ‘66 when he went to trade school. Have several of them. Try this link as iirc you need the 3/8”.
