Search for Brakes

No flaps around here - only Advanced Auto and O'Reileys. Anyone find them there? Other places? :?

 

need to lines out of the mason jar: one has a long end that goes to the wheel cylinder. the other has a short end and goes to a VACUUM PUMP. I use a board to wedge the brake pedal down. next hook up the lines. apply the vacuum untill no bubbles appear in the jar.

 

i'm with tim... throw some r/c car fuel line on there and pump away until there aren't any bubbles. it's worked every time andgoes fairly quickly unless a bleeder gets wrung off.

 

Sorry, not up-to-speed with the jargon. Twenty-to-thirty odd years ago, (B.C. - before computers) when I tinkered with car stuff, acronyms weren't used that much unless you wanted to cuss politely! Sometimes I feel as though I just woke up after being in a coma for decades. Even going to the parts store (FLAPS ) is an adventure - "computer's down - sorry, can't help you!" Thank goodness there are still a couple of places in town that are run by old geezers that know their stuff.
Rant=off.

P.S. - Where's that "corner" everyone speaks of - I think I need to go there.

 

It is really fun to watch a thread take on a life of its own!!

 

your're not alone stay close it gets better. I'm with you on the guys that know their stuff. I want someone who can look it up in a book if need to. the computers only go back so far.

 

Say Hi to Dennis, I thing he is the official "corner moderator"
