Thread: MK2 Drum Bleeder Valve Broke Off

  1. 04-13-2011 09:49 PM #1
    As the title states I was bleeding my brake lines. When I got to the driver side drum bleeder valve it decided to shear right off even with my gentle touch lol. So my query is what would be my best option to fix this problem?

    You'll have to go buy a new Wheel cylinder. They only cost like $20-$25 best to replace in pairs (both sides). Its easy to change just 2 bolts and your brake line. Just soak your brake lines on the old ones for awhile with WD-40 or PB blaster cause you dont want that to break.

    I'd reccomend getting a "flare nut wrench" to do the lines... you don't wanna screw up the hard line that runs to the wheel cylinders! X2 on the PB Blaster..it has worked magic for me in the past!

    2000 Passat GLX...Gone...But not forgotten either..have scars on my knuckles from all the "wrenching" to keep it on the road!
    2008 Rabbit S, VWsport springs/OEM shocks, GTI brakes all around, GTI rear swaybar...best balanced car I've had in a while!

    If you are in the "rust belt" hammer and chisel are your friend. Up here on the odd occassion I do a wheel clinder , I split the casting where the M6x1.0 bolt(s) goes through. Makes quick work of it.
