On my 1996 Oldsmobile achieva, while trying to remove the passenger side rear wheel cylinder, it won't come out. I have disconnected the brake line, removed the 2 small bolts holding it in place and moved all of the brake shoe hardware out of the way. There is just not enough room to pull it out due to the spindle. Does the spindle need to be removed? If so, how?
