It was sort of my own fault i guess

It was rusted in and the passenger nipple was smaller than the drivers one and no spanner i had would fit it, so i banged a smaller one over it = FAIL

New valve Is that going to be hard to replace

Bleeding was just going to plan too FFS

Yeah thats what i ment to say, cylinder. They are easy to change, few bolts holding them on and quite cheap too. Sometimes rust on though so give them a bang with a hammer.

There is 1 small bolt holding it in through the back of the drum. You can just see it in the last pic.

Yeah you have to take the drum apart to fit a new one, not too hard to do. Split pin, drive nut and brake drum comes off then the cylinder can be taken off. probably stuck on though after bolts have been removed, so use hammer to loosen it.

Happened with both of my rear nipples mate (sounds kinky eh )

Ended up just buying new cylinders and getting the bearing and shoes done at the same time while it was all off.

there about 10 quid at most. bit of piss to remove.

Remove wheel, Remove drum, undo bolt at back, pull off cylinder. fit new cylinder, bleed out, refit drum and refit the wheel
