Re: getting bleed nipples out

["Cf Vw tuner" <cfvwtuner@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>Wow, that was an old message being brought back up.

I was able to get all the bleeders on the car free.
Each one expels fluid when it is bleed-ed.

Rear wheel cyl's are in awesome shape.

The calipers were another story.  The pistons were nasty and wouldnt 
retract.
I decided my best bet would be new calipers.  A few places had new 
"universal" calipers for the early cars. They have a top and bottom bleeder.
I'm going to put on the new calipers, rotors and pads and rear shoes, then 
use the stock master, rear wheel cyl's and drums.
The E-brake cables are good as new.
IF  I end up with having a brake problem down the road, I'll still have 
E-brakes and at least one circut still working.

Plus the car will be a summer only toy so I dont have to depend on it 
everyday. That's what my 97 Golf is for...
