Thanks guys when I get back to Mn I will attack it again.

It's nice to see some one "make" things the way they want themselves as anyone can go buy one or pay to have it done. I like what you have done and I will probably have to do the same as I also have bought a new tank from Tanks Inc but didn't know they were a bit different in size. The only thing of concern I see is the heads of the bolts apear to be up against the tank and might rub through after time on the road, thinking I might use revits. Thanks Dan

As shel_bizzy_48 / Webmaster Well I guess it is as easy as it looked because I did take the nut, cotter pin and washer off but it still would not budge. Any other suggestions other than heating and beating? Appreciate the fast reply and actual picture. Thanks Dan bamfordsgarage Yes I get a lot of un-wanted attention, even came out of the store and had old people sitting in it because they use to have one here when the US owned Okinawa. I will see if I can find a picture .

Hello, New to the site so if I posted this in the wrong place let me know. I have had my 48 Plymouth Coup since 1988 after I traded a single shot 16ga and $25 for it. It had been sitting in a yard since the mid 60's but the body is in pretty good condition. I had it sitting in my dads barn since then while I was in the service but now that I am retired I thought I would try to get it on the road. I still live in Okinawa Japan so I only work on it when I go back on leave so it is going slow. The engine is done so I turned my attention to the brakes so I can test drive it. The problem I am running into is I can't get the front lower brake cylinders off, I have heated them, pounded on them, and even broke a pickle fork. All said and done the only thing I managed to do is break one of them off but the bolt is still froze in. Is there a trick or special tool used to remove them? It looks like all I have to do is take the nut of and remove the bolt??? I will not be able to work on it until I go back in the fall but would like to get a game plan now so I don't waste a lot of time getting no where. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan
