If anyone wants the bushes I took out your welcome to them if you pay postage

Unfortunately the rear drum brake pipe nuts are rounded off

Any advice on freeing these off?

Cheers

if you are lucky, take the whole cylinder off the back plates keep spraying plus gas and wire brush it. And turn the whole cylinder.

But i would just replace that brake lines, assuming you can undo the other end.

If tank is coming off, there is a joint for the pipes in the middle of the car that goes all the way. I would replace it from there, trying to undo 10 years old union is a total nightmare!!!

make it fairly straightforward on even 24 year olds.

But if you're feeling flush, replace the lot with aeroquip.

I have one of these think they was battered before I even got to it and I finished them off! Fuel tank is coming off so I'll take your advise and replace from there thank you!

Braided stainless. You can use it throughout (fair few race and rally cars do).

Re: Seicento 1.2 16v with big plans!!

depending on how rounded they are, don't look too bad atm, if spanner is just slipping round one option is to cut the pipe and use a decent 6sided socket. Means replacing pipe obviously.

If i didn't want to cut the pipe and its rounded i would go for my mole grips to hold it and do what Ming said, turn the entire cylinder.

Re: Seicento 1.2 16v with big plans!!

But remember that the "proper" spanner is -- in effect -- 6 sided. It'll be almost as effective as a 6 sided socket.

blu73 · Mar 13, 2014

Re: Seicento 1.2 16v with big plans!!

yes true. but if its rounded use 1 size socket down, hammer it on.

I also snapped mine, you don't need it, it's for the cannister !!

Of course with the 16v you are not running a cannister anyway.

Re: Seicento 1.2 16v with big plans!!

I should have asked what it was first! Haha still learning that my excuse! So hopefully tomorrow I'll get the lines off and have some new ones made up, out of interest can you paint copper lines I know the usual route is they get wax oiled but if I painted them would that be enough protection?
