I have 47 Fargo half ton. I lost the pedal over the winter so I was going to bleed the brakes today.

Problem #1: One rear wheel had the brake bleed nut you see on the right...this is what I expected to see. On the other side it looked like it was broken off inside, no way to screw it out. If I replace the wheel cylinder, does will that solve this problem? I don't see how I can bleed the brakes if I cannot get the stump out.

Problem #2: The brakes on the front look different. The bleed screws are larger and are capped off with a nut. How do you bleed these? And why are they different? It looks to me like the wheel cylinders are supposed to be all the same. Unfortunately, I don't have a parts book and the shop manual does not show this.

Thanks for any help or advice.

George
