ok fellas this is my dilemma i just installed 4.5 lift on my xj and i replaced the brake lines so obviously i had to bleed the brakes but since my xj is a 92 there is a rust issue so the fronts went smooth but the rear drum bleeders snapped right off does anybody have an ideas i really need help

unfortunatly your only real option is to replace the wheel cylinders. fortunately the wheel cylinders are about 10 bucks a piece and fairly easy to replace. you could always try to easy out the broken bleeders but i find that the easy out that fits usually breaks and then your out whatever it costs for a new easy out

your welcome

one thing before i forget, make sure you use some pb blaster on the fitting a few hours before you try to get the line out of the wheel cylinder, nothing is more frustrating than trying to get the break line out and the fitting strips. if you have too a little heat and the right size flare nut wrench make the process go a little easier.

ok thanks

what size flare nut wrench do I need for my rear brake line at the wheel cylinder? I have the passenger side rear bleeder broke off, would it be best to change both rear wheel cylinders or can I just replace the one with a broken bleeder? I have a 1990 4.ol cherokee.

If one broke the other probably will also....

The line is either an 8 or 10mm. I had a devil of a time getting mine out. I ended up replacing the brake lines from the axle block out to the wheels.
