WendyDee Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hello guys! Please bear with me, this is my first project, and while I have some basic automotive knowledge, I need help. I have tried to get the brake master cylinder off the frame to rebuild, but those bolts are tough. I think I might try heat next. I was going to check the fluid, as the previous owner said they were working, but how in the world is it possible to get a wrench in there to do that? Also, where do I get a shop manual for this car? Thank you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
