Hello im looking for some help..... My rear wheel break cylinder had seized up, I have removed it and let oil sit on top of it over night but not moving at all!!!
Any ideas how to get it moving again?
Also my fuel tank ran empty as i didnt know the meter was not working, now the engine takes a lot of effort to get started......air in the fuel tube? (tank is now full to the top) is there an easy way to get the air out?
Or maybe the fuel injectors are a bit clogged?

Thanks for any help....
 
New wheel cylinders are very cheap, rebuild kit even cheaper, but if they are seized its most likely dead.

wheel cylinder

what i do with them just nas a temporary fix ( too much month at the end of the money )

is remove the cylinder take the outer rubber seals off leave the inner bits in then get bit warm with a blowlamp ( not fekkin hot )

then pump it full of WD40 till theres no more **** black/brown stuff comeing out refill it with WD40 and leave it for a couple of hours to cool down then useing only me fingers not grips vices or anything violent like that squash the two pistons together

do not let these fukkers come out youll never get them back in without busting the seals on them if theyr still stiff cant move them by hand sit it upright on a clean block of wood with another on top and tap gently with a heavy screwdriver just enough to shock it into moveing

once you have this little movement use only your hands again to move these fekkers in and out till they will move with ease and the spring inside will move them back out again then replace the outer seals after a damn good clean to remove any grit and crap and it should be good to go

just make sure when its refitted theres no brake fluid weeping out under pressure by setting the brakes up with the drum on pumping the peddle after bleeding it a dozen times then remove the drum and look for signs of weeping round the seals

if it weeps dont use it and get new cylinders or if it doesent it should be good for a year or so
 
New cylinder - in fact replace them both. Take the old one in to make sure you get the right ones or check the parts book for the part numbers if buying by post. You'll need advice from the diesel owning fraternity about the fuel system but I know it's bad news to run it dry - that's why you get a fuel gauge and a low fuel warning light.
 
Thanks for all the advice i try them all until i have WD40 come out my ears!
Sadly i couldnt get them moving. So getting some new ones.
