yesterday I finally got around to replacing the rear drivers side (DS) brake hard line that I cut thru with the cut off wheel when I was removing engine bay tin in preparation for suby conversion, sicne I noticed I had a piece of napa brake line laying around anyway. notice one of bdstone914's plated brake line clips (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) in action.

I also popped in the replacement 2 stub axles I bought because I had to remove the originals with a cut off wheel as well due to rust on the nut/stub axle threads. think I will put some anti seize on these.

today I noticed a leak at my front DS caliper and realized that when I was cannibalizing this car for my V8 car I neglected to tighten the valve.

then looking at all four calipers, top valve, I found that 3 were frozen AND ROUNDED OUT and I needed to use a small pipe wrench to get them off.

I had some nicer bleed vales from eric shea, so I swapped them all out. I removed all the small nut style with eric's larger nut style (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

this may be a low budget thing many should be considering?

I would have been happy if when I bought my V-calipers I was told "Bleeder valves not included". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
