heya, I have a 69 squareback and while replacing the brake pads on the front drivers side, the bleeder valve broke off as I loosened it slightly. I attempted to use one of those EZ-out hardened steel awls to hammer into the broken valve and wrench out with a pair of pliers - but the awl broke off as well! the good thing is the valve is now plugged ;-) but it's VERY risky and I won't even attempt to drive it down the block. and there is no way to pull out the awl. so I need to get a new brake caliper. the local NAPA store can order them for 71 and later models, so my question is: can I use brake calipers for a 71 model on a 69? your help is greatly appreciated, -allen _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
