My 17yr old son and I replaced the MC with a new one last week - since it was VERY cold here in New England we may have not taken the care the job deserved. Once installed I noticed that there was leaking from the reservoir hoses, the grommets seemed to have pulled loose. ****UPDATE***** OK, Here is the update. Using a combination of the screwdriver bent into a 180-degree tool (as described in the Bird site - tech notes) and the pliers I showed above, the pipe are in and seated. Went around the car and bled the brakes......oops, ran out of fluid in the reservoir , go around the car again...... I wonder if I should bleed BOTH nipples? YUP, lots of air in the other one. Around the car again.....OUT OF BRAKE FLUID......to the store, got two more bottles.......Around the car again.......Check the underside - any leakage from the grommets? Nope, all dry...Peddle is getting firmer......but gets squishy when held down......Checked all of the nipples, DARN one of them is leaking and is tight......(yes they are all new) may have to use plumbers teflon tape...........too cold for another pass, more tomorrow.... Hope there are washers in the MC, it did come with the grommets installed ----- More to come! |
