Larry:
Bought mine at PepBoys. I've seen other parts of this thread mention using
vice grips. That works sometimes, but you'll most likely twist-off the
bleeder fitting (been there, done that) - they're a fairly soft metal. The
PB Blaster is a lot cheaper that a new rear cylinder or worse yet, a front
caliper.
