    I have a broken-off bleeder valve...will this come as part of a new brake cylinder kit for the front drums?

    thanks

    Just purchase a replacement wheel cylinder. A lot less hassle than honing and rebuilding one only to have it leak. Not to mention removing the broken bleeder valve.

    I agree... Not worth rebuilding the old ones. Wheel cylinders are stupidly cheap for these cars. I bought new ones from Auto Zone for like 10 or 11 bucks a piece a couple of years ago.
