Just kidding.. well not really..lol Seems like with all I need to do to Odie many could learn from the hands on experince.. and for the ones that know how to do it, they could supervise the rest of us..
Great idea right?
Well when you get done laughing.. I need to talk brakes.
Odie is flying all wheels off the ground so its brake time.
Have a recipt for brake work from PO but have not checked anything yet.
Before you read the following.. Odie has not run or stopped on his own for 10 years. master cylinder is gummed up and not working.
Running now.. well did for a bit till starter quit. Had starter rebuilt and putting it on Sunday before starting brake work.
What I have on my list to do for brakes.
* New rear and front rubber brake lines. Best and cheapest place to purchase?
* Master cylinder. Best and cheapest place to get. Part brand and number?
* Booster? Would you change it without checking it first?
* Wheel cylinders. Again best and cheapest place.. brand and part number.
* Brake lines. I know they need to be upgraded but could I do the rest and upgrade later? Blow them out with air?
* What about rear wheel bearings do I need to check them now?
* I have front wheel bearings on another list after I get done with the brakes.
* Shoes and pads.. If they are new can I leave them alone and not turn the disk or drums if they have a little surface rust?
Sure would be easier with 4 or 5 guys or girls turnning wrenches!
Sooner I get done the sooner I get to go to all the rallies..
When is good for you?
