I got all the suspension and brakes on the car. The rain caught me and the only thing left was to finish bleeding the brakes as I have zero pedal. A couple of problems came up. First, the right side shock mount would not, I repeat, would not come loose. The bolt and nut were rusted completely together. I cut that off but still it was not sliding off. I beat the shit out of it but zero success. So, had to let the spring push it off and even had to drill it a little to separate the 2 pieces to get my lower spring pad for the new shock assy. After spending all night screwing around on that, had to get a new mount and finished it up on Sunday. The rear was 10 times easier.\u00a0Lastly, the bleeder valves on these new brakes for whatever reason seized in the caliper. I was able to clean the left side but the right side it was pretty bad. note to anyone looking for a 10mm x 1.0 tap, none of the parts houses will have this tap. Walmart, lowes, and harbor freight doesn’t either. So I carefully threaded the new one in the caliper and it made it. Now the only reason I can’t drive it is I still have to bleed the lines more. No pedal = no fun. Tomorrow I’ll have pics of it sitting on the ground. it’s dark and raining which is why I didn’t take any.\u00a0And BTW, working outside still sucks, for anyone wondering.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the pics.<\/p>\n
