another brake question

[Ryan_V]

So I put a compression fitting on my old plow truck where there was a leak in the brake line. I put fluid in and tried to bleed them out. Well, an old plow truck is pretty rusty underneath and the bleeders are completely rusted solid and stripped. Anyone have any ideas for me??? Taking it in is out because, one...obviously, it has no brakes, except when the plow is down and two....I don't register or insure it, so I can't drive it on the road even if I wanted to!!

Thanks!!

Compression fittings are not meant for high pressure brake line and should not be used regardless of the opinions you may get from others.

I'm out on this one!

I would say replace the lines. As far as the bleeders go, try heat and a vice grips. If you get them loose, replace them. Proceed with caution.

I've stripped my bleeders off before, just drill them out and use a screw out or what ever their called. You can get a new one at Napa or what ever.

I just want to know how to get the brakes bled, not start an arguement on the comprssion fitting PLEASE....

Like I said, the truck doesn't leave my farm, it's strictly a yard truck. If I did EVER drive it on the road, I wouldn't do the fitting. Please stay on topic.

Since you "repaired" the rear line and you need to bleed the rear brakes and the bleeders are frozen in the wheel cylinders. You can either heat them up and hope they budge or replace the wheel cylinders.
