Good Morning!

Having kids in summer camps is a good way to keep my immune system in top shape currently that means that I have a slight scratch in the back of my throat...think there's something going around with regards to tummy troubles...just don't eat the lettuce

No kissing anyone on the rally.

Power back on. Wheee. That was eventful.

That is a long now power time.

My level of caffeination is bordering on over.

 

[2legs2wheels]

haha.

i don't get it.

Siriusly?

 

[AbsolutEnduser]

okaaay...so i drove my older car and the brake pedal feels mushy. I wonder if it is my imagination, but... maybe something bad is happening, like leaky fluid, or very very old dirty fluid.


I wonder if I can do a brake fluid flush myself , or I should just bite the bullet and get it to the local transmission/brake/tires place and say "just the brake fluid". And I wonder if they'll say "you need new rotors and pads"... $$$$

 

[N4teTheGreat]

Car brakes are doable by ones self, though possibly hard.to get a firm feel without help.

 

[N4teTheGreat]

As is tradition, we ended up swamped in the second race of the day. Did not have time for selfies...

dunno. Feels scary. I could borrow a brake-flusher-device from an auto-parts-store

Come back when you decide.

like leaky fluid, or very very old dirty fluid.

Try pointing your eyeballs at the brake fluid reservoir... is the fluid low? or dark?

 

[ST Guy]

I can bleed the brakes on a motorcycle by myself. But I need help with a car.

 

[Rtmac]

I always put speedbleeders on my bikes... I've never put them on a car, tho.

Client owes me 11K. Lawyer says it will cost more than that to sue him but you can do it yourself pretty easy.

Did not expect to start a new career at this point.

 

[N4teTheGreat]

I have a motion pro check valve for brake bleeding,.not sure if the hose would fit a car, but it sure makes things simple on a bike. Probably similar to a speed bleeder

Small claims I presume?

Rude! Silver linings? At least it's 11k owed by one person... easier to sue 1 for 11k than 22 people for 500 bucks a pop...

Let me at 'em.

I have an email from a client who refuses to pay the last $1400 on one of my jobs. He actually wrote “ we both know you will win a judgement in court; however we both know it’s too costly in time and filings to pursue.”

I forwarded that email to every marine contractor in the area. Yeah that $1400 has cost him a lot more in bumped up fees and required permits. Until you’ve sat in that 12’ boat with me you have no idea how hard I work. Fuck that guy.

Back to @budman , you want I should load the shotgun and grab the keys to the Lincoln?

 

[budman]

Nope. That limit is 6 something.
Lawyer said forms are simple and he is sure I can do it.

@ThumperX
Love it. The good old days were probably pretty good for you tough types.

I just want you to be ready, Ricky boss.


Are you ready, Rick.

No, really. Are you ready.

I know, that it needs to be changed. Was just miffed a bit that I actually felt the pedal a bit off. ...

... Anyway the damn thing nearly needs the air box to be removed. I only removed the MAF connector, then the brake reservoir cap connector, and managed to access it a.bit . Also , from the outside it's kinda unclear what the level is.

BRB we have a situation here . I don't wanna keep typing on the phone and the computer is.. a bit off limits. Stay tuned for pictures in Technicolor

You aren't gonna feel dirty brake fluid in the pedal... but if the fluids at the min mark, and there isn't a leak, you probably need pads soon.
