currently doing battle with the beast!
Up on stands I have the car to bias valve unions loosened, the drivers bias to rubber flexi hose off but the passenger side is beign stubborn.
I am getting a better glance at the valve now because the cars higher, whats that, 2 very corroded pipes there!?! yes.
So whats the bets a pipes gone and valves fine
I also need to fight and get the activating rod out of the rear torsion bar. |

well the bias valve is off.
You know if I listened to myself more I would be better off, I really would.
Yes its the main feed pipe thats corroded away to nothing, valves fine!
brake work doesn't bother me, its the fact you need to do it above your head on your back and fluid pisses everywhere that really annoys me plus all the corrosion etc! |
