So I just installed a 9" rear axle in the XJ, whole project went smooth as silk until I tried to bleed the brakes today (that should have been a sign that I was going to break something :laugh. I figured I would put bleeding the brakes off until today so I could let them sit after being sprayed wit PB blaster. I hit them with PB last night, sprayed them again today..
So it was still pretty tight in there I guess and the damn thing just snapped clean off. :doh: Now due to the placement of the bleeder bolt thing I have to drop the axle again or pull the whole brake assembly off in order to drill it out. Does anyone know the best way to go about fixing something like this? I did some searching and figure maybe it would be easier to just replace the entire brake assembly if I can get it off. Hell, maybe man up and spend the $$ on disk brakes. But for the time being is there any "simple" way to fix something like this?
TIA,
