QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Aug 28 2008, 09:56 PM)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) Yuk, yuk, yuk... ye humor me. I wish I knew how to make bleeding a 914 a little easier. Could a bleeder be added to the P valve ? Tap into the top, run a copper line up to engine compartment with a screw cap ? Perhaps that would allow air to be displaced ?? |

Ok, after promising a buddy to some beer, we tackle the brake bleeding process with two guys, we succeed with a healthy burp in the brake bleeding process,firmer brake pedal movement, next step? put the wheels on and test drive, Correct?
While putting on the first wheel, it's been nagging me,"how did I lose pressure,30-40 min drive." Finish tighten the first wheel, hand tight, when I notice the movement in the wheel itself, ? No prob, quick tighten isn't hard. That's when (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) hit's the fan. Pull dust cover off, and wham! it STINK! I'm saying to myself, what kind of fancy grease is this, that STINKS! Like a skunk! After cleaning thru the muck, outer bearings needles fell out of casing, looks like wet burn coating. Sooooooo, I'm guessing bearings are going bad, making rotor working harder against brake pad, constant vibration , brake pressure post, eventually? To answer some of you folks, yes I should have hear them,but, I'm deaf, but usually feel vibration. There was times I sense something weird in the front end, but could not place it. Maybe this was the culprit Now gotta remember where's the bearings are.(Inventory) Coffee can #18? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
