1965 300 Bleeder Screws

[Jack Ryan]

Looking for suggestions. Replacing front wheel cylinders. On the old cylinders the bleeder is so close to the spindle you cannot get a socket straight on them. The new cylinders look even worse/closer. New cylinders have really long bleeder screws. My first thought is to try and find shorter bleeders.

Any help appreciated.

I feel your pain. I just use an open end wrench.

I was afraid you’d say that and that’s what I’ll do

Thanks for the reply!

Sounds same as my '66 Fury. I cut a short "ring" off the end of a properly sized 1/4 drive 6 point socket and welded a piece if 1/4" bar stock on it (vertically) for a handle. It worked for me- hope this might help. Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay

I did find some smaller bleeders at NAPA

know this week if they work

If the shorter bleeders don't work and you have to use a wrench use a line wrench. An open end wrench will round off the bleeders in no time.
