Default brakejobs on cars in salted regions

....is a total pain in the ass. im currently in the middle of replacing my rear drum's cylinders on my 95 EX coupe and right now im waiting for more PB blaster to set in. i swear, im going to go through a whole can before this is done. i might even remove the rest of the rear brake line just to get this over with.

anybody else perform this job before?

I removed one from my '92 CX before. My friend broke the bleeder screw off and then we snapped an easy out inside the broken off bleeder screw (fun!). I just ended up removing the two bolts that hold it and it came right out. If your having a nightmare getting the drum off, there are two holes in the face of it that are threaded. Find bolts tha fit those and tighten them down so there's pressure and go to town with a hammer, the vibration should knock it loose. Good luck.
