Crap... I saw the title to this thread and thought I *finally* get to help someone out - instead of always asking for, and getting help. I'm doing my brakes right now but mine are just the std drum brakes all around. Soaring, you are too good!

I use a device called the 'Mityvac' which is a one man (I am not politically correct) brake bleeding tool. Go to Eastwood www.eastwood.com under their stock number 49040. It's $34.99 but I've seen them cheaper. It also can be used to check out the vacuum advance on a distributor.

I remember when they tried to start calling them 'peopleholes' instead of 'manholes'. [sm=happybounce.gif] Talk about having too much idle time onyour hands. Oh yeah, remember when a man was an actor and a woman and actress? Now they're all actors, flight attendants, letter carriers, firefighters, police officers ... Damn, what would these PC folks do with the German language where nouns have gender (das, der, die)?

[edit] On your next flight, say "Excuse me, waitress." [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]
