So I'm taking my wife out for the dirst 'long drive' since I put her back together. I'd just finished saying that I'd put 1,600mi on her without any problems, and not 20min later, I feel this strange vibration in the driver-front wheel.
While doing about 70 on the freeway...BLIP-DAK....PLUNK.....rattle rattle...brakes feel funny. Lucally, our exit was next. I got off and pulled over at the first parking lot. O started feeling around...nothing. I thought it was one of the o-clamps from the master cylendar brace. Nope...it's there and fine. (Again, great product Travis!) I feel all the lines...all tight. I was about to say "O-Well, I'll get it later" when I thought to feel the calipers. WHOOPS! Driver-Front Caliper lost the bottom bolt! Angie was about to freak out, and I went into my 'emergency' bag and pulled out a spare, and a 19mm wrench. 2min later, I had BOTH calipers tight (other was a LITTLE loose) and both brakes re-blead (thanks to the speed-bleeders) and we're on our way to see her favorite singer at a bar in Akron. Aint it great when you can fix one of these things on your own, and get rollin in 2-shakes? I just thought I'd share that... |
