i was gonna bleed my brakes a while ago and i step on the brakes and see brake fluid coming from the left drum. i was gonna jus replace the parts, but im guessing i should be replacing the whole drum?

 

no you dont have to replace the whole drum just take tire off and drum cover and there is a brake wheel cylinder that went bad easy /cheap fix there is 2 10mm bolts on the back side that hold it on. make sure to remove the brake line first. make sure ebrake isnt on also may have to tap drum with a hammer.

 

yea i saw it. but u think i should change both sides?

 

I would, but thats just me. They're both the same age and if one is leaking... the other may soon follow.

 

o noooo idk what to do. i cant take the the nut off for the brake line that connects to the wheel cylinder, on BOTH sides. when i try to turn it just rubs, so its making it round.

 

Buy a set of these line wrenches: http://autorepair.about.com/od/tools..._line-wren.htm

They should break it free. Unless it's already been rounded badly.

Good luck!

 

vise grips works great use them. and also make sure you are turning it the right way.
