MASTER CYLINDER
| I haven't worked on this master cylinder, but I have checked
the fluid level. Nothing leaking and brakes work so I left it alone.
The wood panel in the floor above is clearly visible. |

FRONT DISC BRAKES
 |
Again, I used the pressure washer to clean up this work
area. The front brake caliper bleeder valve was broken off.
When the new brake line was installed, air was trapped in the line.
There was no way to relieve it. This new brake caliper (notice the
twin caliper) was super easy to install. The two retaining bolts
allowed it to easily slip off. I filled the calipers with brake
fluid before I installed to reduce bleeding. |
| To get to the brake caliper, I had to remove the front
tire. That was a job. This large tire iron has the required
1½" lug socket. I added a 4' pipe extension to crack the
lugs. A 2½ ton floor jack was used to lift the front axle. A
jack stand was put in place as a safety measure but not used. The
floor jack easily did the job.
The entire project (with parts on hand) took about 30 minutes. |
