Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach. 😵😵😵 Well that sure didn't take long. Disassembled the rear drum brakes with photos and all and went to
remove the brake line from the wheel clyinder and BAM! Oh how sweet...
...the fuel line nut is cross threaded in to the wheel cylinder.
Even using a fuel line wrench all I get is the rounding of the nut. Well gee golly, maybe THIS is why the wheel cylinder was leaking in
the first place.🤔 Maybe THIS is why it got parked for 25 years.🤔 Well, time for another game plan.....🙁......I had to turn out the lights, and walk
away, and come back another day.🙄 As Charlie Brown says as he is lying on his back after once again having the football pulled away by
his nemesis Sally......................ARGH!

Wasn't that Lucy who pulled away the football? Sally was his sister who liked Linus? Been a long time since I have seen the Peanuts. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly...

Welcome to the world of P.O.'s, not piece of sh*t, although that may be the case often, I'm referring to Previous Owners. I'd like to throat punch the last owners of the last two cars I'm purchased.
I stand CORRECTED...👍.....I'll mark this on my forgetful calendar so my wife has proof that I AM losing my mind.😊 Thanks for the correction.
It still doesn't fix my problem.........
🤔
From your lips to God's ears. It's called kicking the can down the road. Do it wrong or half donkey and then let the next guy worry about it. EVentually
someone, as in yours truly will need to pick the can up and throw it out and make the world beautiful again when it's correctly repaired.😎
I find it odd only my second thing to decide to fix so far and BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.🙁 Maybe I will ignore it and it'll go away.🤔
My wife does that to me all the time.😉
You have some pretty high expectations if you thought that flare nut was coming out easily, crossthreaded or not. Cut the line at both ends, get a new section and wheel cylinder, use a socket to remove the t-block side, install new parts, bleed, and finished.
I just finished talking to my cousin who has a 1973 Chevelle Laguna and he suggested the same thing......I guess I got spoiled the last 25 years
here in the desert not having to deal with rusty bolts and nuts and knuckles. I sure miss my days in PA where Rust was king and salt was it's subject.
