April fools'?
Annual fools on this site.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Got the front brakes and spindles done.
Then I climbed on the struggle buss. The rear reservoir was way low. No leaks. I wanted to bleed the rear just because. I shouldn't have. The rear bleeders are stuck. Nothing I had would turn them and they stripped the hex off.
I fought getting them out for way too long.
Axle is ready to drop out tomorrow afternoon.

Always something, pretty sure you will have turned every nut and bolt on it now.
I use my oxy / ace torch with brazing tip for PIN POINT heat . Then spray / dump cold water on . I can get 98% of bleader screws out no problem . And i live in the rust belt 
. . . . And yes them narrow c&c axles SUCK to get in at the bleader screws . If axle out i hook up and do it before u-bolts go on and spring pack in the way .

That one of the ones that you have to pull bearings and all to get the drums off?
I've gotten lucky and all mine have had the slip on drums so far.
(Knock on wood) Lol.
Might have had one of the other at one point...
Can't remember exactly now.

I've got a bleeder wrench specifically for the C&C axles. It still sucks, lol.
Cool tool . . But i get it sucks . There no fun .
some times few heat up glowing red and cool cycles . never had a seal melt and leak out all the years i did it .
I could be odd (I know I know)….but I actually like full floaters where the drum pulls with the hub…I’ve had so many slip on drums fight me coming off over the years, once you take the bearings out the drum is usually coming rigs off unless the shoes are really messed up or have a huge lip.
I've had to knock the lugs out of an older 14FF to pull the hub and leave the drum attached. Adjuster was rusted solid and the drum had a big enough lip to hold it on. But without the studs, the bearing hub came off and I could access the brake hardware and release it from the backing plate.
That was a lot of work for these. Axle is sitting on jacks. I was able to get a full size vise grip on them, after pulling the brake lines.
7mm x 1.0 threads. The extra I have here are all 3/8". O'Reilly's is open and has them.

Also, when I was reconnecting the front lines, I move a line and something small fell on me. This is a fitting from the line lock to the left front. The missing piece is what fell. Has been cracked for a while. Was not leaking.
Do you have dual line locks? Or is it plumbed to just the one wheel?
Line lock has 2 outputs for the front.
