Great start and enjoy working on your truck!

For the wheel cylinder, I ended up just grinding off the head on one of mine that was stuck. Since you'll be replacing the wheel cylinder anyway its not a big deal. Just be careful not to nick the brake line with your grinder, unless you are replacing those too, then no big deal.

I understand the minimum wage thing too...I got mine when I was 16 also, after driving a hand-me-down S10. I worked minimum wage jobs too all though high school and had to save up months for stuff, but it was a lot of fun!
