So today i installed the wheel cylinder on my buick, it was SOOOOO much harder to get it on than i thought, the only good thing is it was alot quicker to get it on than off, i had to end up forcing the wheel cylinder out the front because the clip was rusted on. But anyways i didnt put the drum back together because its really hard with pliars, i have a friend with the whole tool kit that is going to help me on saturday get it back together, do the other wheel cylinder, and fire up my other car that i just got. thanks for your guys's reccomendation on getting new wheel cylinders because looking at the old one i can tell the line fitting and bleeder would never come out. PS to the guys that are having trouble getting the new wheel cylinder in, jam a rod or something between the wheel cylinder and hub to hold it in, and grab a really pointy object (i used the end of a THIN file) and jam the clip in.

Those clips suck! I never understood why GM did that what's wrong with 2 bolts like everything else they made?
