A hanson extractor. Easy-out, in other words. You don't even need to drill a hole.

nah they freeze up over time. my ranger did that once.

Yep. They do. 'specially if you don't bleed or flush very often. Add to that the fact that brake fluid is hygroscopic (soaks up water)...

240? As in Datsun? You won't find those wheel cylinders for any paltry 8 dolla. Those are pretty damn special wheel cylinders...they only have one piston, and are designed as a floating assembly.

You'll be lucky to find it for under 50 or 60 bux.

if you use an easy out, go ahead and get a kit and rebuild the cylinder. you don't want metal flakes in there
