been do'in a serious brake job!

[BARRACUDA340S]

decided to order stainless lines for the Cuda. I think most of mine were original. I got the kit from John Cambridge and the stuff came like lightning. Thanks John!

had to cut most of the old stuff off, plus I put new lines on the caliper's and painted them. I had a bich of a day with it :shock: That main firewall line is fun to put in with the motor and z bar attached to the car :roll: I managed to get the front's done now on to the rear tommorrow then back on 4 wheels again. I will be single by tommorrow night cause the old ladies gonna help me bleed the brakes when I'm ready. That alway's makes for a good fight when we work on the car together :roll:

I got a set of those speed bleeders. Work like a charm with that check ball in them. The you can do them yourself with a vac pump.

 

[BARRACUDA340S]

I thought about that, but I'm ready for a good fight with the old lady anyway so let the fun begin!

So are you at least going to put the car on jack stands to make it easyer for her to get under the car?

"You can squeeze under there! And make sure you get all the air out this time!"

Nah! she's real skinny, she'll fit under there

Hey Brett, what company made your stainless lines? I got a set from Inline Tube for my Duster and was thinking of getting a set for the Valiant.

 

[BARRACUDA340S]

I think they are from InLine tube?? I'll have to check!

Here I sit ready to bleed the brakes and the old lady ran off somewhere :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I tell ya, these women have their priorities all jacked up. I told her to be around so we could get this done and the next thing I know she's gone. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

you all know where she went! a place with sale tags and cash register's.

my dad told me to get a piece of line and put it from the bleed valve into a bottle of brake fluid (with room for the extra fluid) and just keep on pumping, but it didnt work too well for me, im not sure why not though.
i always use a broom handle to bleed my brakes
pump it up really hard, then prop the broom handle, etc against the pedal and the seat. its worked so far, usually with my sister's civic, did it once or twice with my sundance.

I sorta cheat, I got a power bleeder :wink:

Women don't have priorities, its all line of site. They see something that interest them ( as in sales ) and they're gone

 

[shg340]

Amen!

Brett,
Glad to hear you got the lines already, when did they arrive ? Yours was the first order I placed , so I wasn't sure how quick they ship.

Craig, let me know if you need tubing from InLine , I'll hook you up.

 

[BARRACUDA340S]
