Don't wast time, buy new wheel cylinders and be done!!!View attachment 1715502651 View attachment 1715502652 So I’m getting ready to pull my demon out of the garage, but wanted to bleed the brakes first as it’s a new car to me and I haven’t gotten my hands on them yet. I got the rear just to eye them up and this is what I found on both sides. I feel as though there should be a screw there, not nubs. Any input on what these might be? Car had a previous life as a strip car. Thanks

looks like the bleeder screws were snapped off should soak those wheel cylinder bolts before any work !Don't wast time, buy new wheel cylinders and be done!!!
looks like the brake line is fine,cylinders are going to be faster than those bleeders !!!Yeah I think that’s what I’ll end up doing there. I appreciate the input from you guys! I was hoping it would be a real quick simple solution as the previous owner said they were good... but yeah from the looks of them, I’d venture to say the guts of the brakes are in bad repair as well.. oh well, another project on the list lol thanks again!
The metal line going to cylinder looks pretty new and the OP said the previous owner replaced the line. I would inspect everything just to be sure.OK, here is my $0.02. From what I see in the picture, I can only imagine what the rest of the braking system might look like. The wheel cylinders may be shot inside and ready to blow out. The brake hoses could be collapsed on the inside and unsafe. The steel brake lines could be badly rusted on the inside and ready to blow out with a pinhole (or bigger) leak. The inside of the master cylinder could be shot and ready to blow out also. My point is that even if you pulled the drums and things looked more or less OK, There could be a lot of damage you can't see. From that picture, I think I'd do a COMPLETE brake job.
