Brake job is done! Adjusted the backs (they were quite loose as HY predicted). Did a 2-man bleed on every wheel two times around. Got a blast of air on the first 1 or 2 open/close sequences and zero air after that and zero air the second time around. Brakes are firmer than…better not say on a public forum. Also smooth as silk. Thumbs up on Bendix rotors n drums and Wagner Thermoquiets.

So in conclusion, 1000 thank yous to Ralph n Hey You. Y’all are awesome! Smooth as silk too.

 

I love it when a plan comes together.

 

Don’t you know it!

Brake jobs are quite easy. It’s when you bust open 28 year old flare nuts when the trouble starts.

 

Living here in the heart of the rust belt, (southern michigan) I feel your pain.

 

As a born n bred 38 year resident of the northwestern Chicago suburbs, I still feel your pain.

 

Hell, my 1988 is a Southern Lady - and I STILL had to bust the flare nuts off on her!

She really busted my nuts ...

Wait, you just said YOU busted HERS?? Which was it? I'm thinkin' it was likely mutual.

 

I have to say, living in NC now for 24 years, this climate is a WHOLE LOT better on vehicles vs up north.

 

How are the hurricanes?

 

They blow on by.
