The Calm Before The Spring
Created on 2007-03-07 18:55:16
Haha. yes. Spring is threatning to start soon. (even though... it snowed today... but still)
Last weekend was... interesting. I rebuilt the brake servo (it can be done! its not... that hard.) And put on a new brake master cylinder. fun stuff. oh boy.
first off, i had no idea how to bench bleed the BMC. and the Haynes repair manual says nothing about any of that, so, i mounted everything, hooked it all up, filled it with fluid... and pumped and bled it to no avail for about an hour. took it all off, posted a Q on here how to bleed the MC and started over. once with the proper line to send the pressure back into the reservoir, all the bubbles disapeared, and once i mounted everything again, i actually had a pedal! whoo hoo. some quick bleeding, and bam. fresh brakes. nice.
now... onto this stupid Igniton wire problem...
i gotta fix all this! ive been slacking off because of the cold, I'd better be ready, cause that first nice top down spring day is comin quick im sure!
