Default Tried bleeding brakes, snapped bleeder bolt

(Right rear drum). I ordered a new wheel cylinder and brake line because I striped another bolt. The line I ordered is #7 in this picture: https://www.hondapartsdeals.co...5.gif

How do I install that when I get the parts? Does the bolt rotate on the brake line and into #28? Or do I need to rotate the whole line?

I need to get this done asap, thanks.

Of course.

Any advice on setting the e-brake? I know that both lines are intact and not cut anywhere but they seem like they loosened up over the last 19 years. If I adjust them as tight as possible and the brake still doesn't engage, is there a way to shorten the cable?

You need to adjust the drums. There is a star nut, that is suppose to self adjust when you hit the brakes in reverse. You can probably find a pic of it, just do a search about adjusting drums.

The celvis is to adjust the regular brakes, not the ebrake. I might need a way to shorten the ebrake line.

The way the rear drums brakes are adjusted does make a difference on the ebrake.

My ebrake barely even worked, adjusted the drums now it holds hard on 4-5 clicks, without doing nothing to the cable adjustment in the car.

Either way, the clevis is self adjusting. My problem is the cable is too long.
