Scott Gardener:
Before you attempt to "unfreeze" the rusted brake cylinders" by force or
more solvents you might try something thathas always woeked for me
although it can be messy. Find the appropriate size fitting for the line
where where the brake fluid enters the cylinder and adapt it to your
grease gun. The pressure generated this way by pumping the grease gun is
far greater than you could otherwise exert. Have used this method for
years and it never fails unless the cylinder cracks and then it was
probably too weak to reuse anyway. remember you have to clse the bleeder
fitting! It is a messy process but pretty foolproof and doesn't damamge
the cylinders at all. Good luck.
