Prep For Road Trip To Sweet Home Alabama
Created on 2008-06-24 04:55:45
June 22, 2008 - My neighbor, Mike, helped me bleed the brake system for the long trip from Northern Virginia to North Alabama.
While we had it broken down, he adjusted the rear brake tension. The result was a more firm brake pedal.
Mike noted a "growl" in the front right bearing when spinning, so we replaced that bearing set.
Overall, I am very confident in Junie's ability to make the trip...we will see.
The only thing that doesn't work is the push botton, windshield fluid pump...no biggie.
