Nail in the coffin

so the wheel cylinder would basically remove the bleeder and brake line nut? id also have to get off the massive bolt that holds the wheel cylinder on. also im doing basically like a 1/4 brake line reducer so basically i have a really short 1/4 line and i tuck the center brake hose between the frame and body. i have 3/16 and my flare tool does 3/16 good.

I added a video to my post above

I must be dumb, i thought you had to remove that massive nut (hehe) to get the brake drum off.

no, you don't remove that bolt......remove the brake line and there is a retainer clip that need to be removed from the back of the wheel cylinder

and you are not dumb, they guys who designed the retainer clip are the dummies

Those retaining clips really suck. I'm definitely not a fan of that design. The worst part for me is getting them back in. It can be tricky.
