I can't believe the brakes are so picky on fluid! Options

[patssle]

After driving my car last fall and spring with hard brakes that couldn't lockup, my first order of business after bringing it out of summer hibernation was to fix the brakes. They had been rebuilt by Eric and installed by a previous PO.

The pedal was hard to push and could not lock up the brakes. So I bled the brakes today as it had not been done in a couple years. The fluid came out fine, and was discolored, but was not opaque. So I figured this would not fix the problem. Wrong! Took the car down the street and bam, locked them up.

The brake fluid was not that dirty, but apparently just a little can mess up your brakes.


Now I'm just waiting for the cops to come as the neighborhood bitch came out of her house and stared me down for screeching twice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
