Well, I got close to having my brake job done

[pritch]

The weather report didn't sound too encouraging last night, and my shop is full of other projects, so I have been working out in the rocks. And the snow:



Oh boy. First thing-try to figure out where all this stuff goes:



I broke my own rule and bought new wheel cylinders instead of rebuilding them. This is why I hate this new stuff. The bleeders take some strange size wrench. 3/8's is too big. 10 mm is too big. 5/16's and 9mm is too small. I had these left over so in they went-they are the black ones:



Everything went together fine, though.





I had to change out my brake lines. The one at the right wheel cyl broke when I was taking it apart, and some PO had done a lousy job of using bend-yourself lines when they changed the rearend at some point. As I have a full set that came off my Panel (I went with all new SS on that) I didn't think it would be much of a job. Wrong. Nothing is ever simple. I had to chase those lines all the way back to the connection by the starter before I could get one to come apart without destroying it. And I'm not real sure I didn't destroy that one. I twisted the line pretty good before the fitting started turning. I may yet have to go clear to the master cylinder. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
