it must be for the rear brakes but i cant get any brake fluid out where the brake line ataces even if i remove my plug and press the piston all the way in

the front one works and have been able to bleed it.

i dont know if the master cylinder is bad or not because it has been without brake fluid for like last 5 years or so it might have become bad.

is there are a way to open these steel one i have removed the snap ring but cant get the piston out

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
