seriously, i would be surprised if you spent more than 20 dollars. i just checked my local napa, and they are 9-10 dollars, depending on whether you have 9 or 10 inch drums. spend an extra couple of dollars and do it right

Just replace the the entire wheel cylinder. The two (2) bolts on either side are the fasteners for it. If the bleeder screw is seized chances are there is rust inside inhibiting proper function of the brake assembly. It's a 20 minute job...if things go well. If not, maybe an hour.

That (circled) is a drum brake bleeder valve that screws into the wheel cylinder. You should be able to get it out with pb blaster and vice grips as previously suggested. But if you can't get it out then you need to replace the wheel cylinders. To do this remove the drums, shoes, brake lines, and then wheel cylinders. Install everything adjust them then bleed brakes. Always replace both wheel cylinders at the same time. Do one side at a time to use the other as a reference.

x100 on just replacing the wheel cylinders. Since your in there already why not? i bet if you dont a few months down the road they are gonna go bad and your gonna have to redo it all over again.

Good point! The shoe condition will tell the story though. If there are lots of miles left on them and they aren't fluid soaked why replace them? I would add a new spring kit in the mix if I replaced the shoes.

walters right dont take the shoes off to replace the wheel cylinder. loosen up the line take out the bolts and gently pry the shoes away from the wheel cyl and take it out. dont make it harder then you have to. i do at least 6 a week so if i can do it you can too. pb blaster is your friend. get to know him.
