Installed brake line but only on the front because the rears are stuck on. Then I go to bleed the brakes and the rear nipple shears off on a cylinder with less than 1000 miles of use. . WOOW.

That was me last week. Sheared the caliper bolt off in the bracket. Then spent 2 hours trying to find a new caliper/bracket to fix it.

That’s one of the worst fears when I’m messing with brakes. I have managed to drill couple of broken ones away without destroying the cylinder/caliper but it wasn’t easy and required the removal of the part. Sometimes welding a nut to the stub works too.

Thankfully the napa has a new cylinder. But the fact that I have stainless steel lines in the front and 20 year old rubber lines in the rear means theres a weak point, no bueno

Brake work is the worst because its often stuck togeather and breaking it means replacing EVERYTHING

Yes, that happens.
Snap bleeding screw->remove brake cylinder and brake the hard line->remove the bad hard lind and damage the brake hose->brake the longest hard line in the car->damage the master cylinder->swap new master cylinder and brake all other hard lines at same time
It didn’t go like this but I have a car that doesn’t a single piece of usable brake parts left.
