Had to call on my son-in-law to help line it up. He does these kind of things and he was really a big help.I will have some pictures soon. I won't be worried about the rear end falling. Out anyway. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,187 Insomniac | | Insomniac Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,187 | I'm waiting on my new U-boats for my rear end. S Are they coming from Germany?

Now get some help bleeding the brakes and I'll be ready to drive again. Looks like I'll be using my heater when I drive. But that's OK because it works fine. Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | U-boats??????????

This little pad I have is nice but I would rather be on my big computer. Anyway chain has been yanked. Still waiting on just a little help on bleeding the brakes. My wife or my daughter will help me as soon as they get time. I want on of those new one man bleeders but haven't bit the bullet yet. That will be a new story. Take care. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | Don't you just love autocorrect?

More importantly, does your wife and/or daughter typically follow any directions given to them by you?
I am not being sexist. I choose my brake bleeding partners very carefully. Inexperience of said assistant must be taken into consideration.
OK, maybe I am being a little sexist...

They have helped me in the past and are really good at holding the pedal down and letting me know when it's goes all the way or ECT. Got to give them credit. Just getting the schedule's together. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 | Good deal Red 49 Truck! Upon reflecting on my borderline sexist comment, it becomes apparent to me that it says more about my inability to train the inexperienced than it does about the inexperienced trainees.
BTW, I am disappointed that no one noticed that I cowardly signed "bartamos" under my previous, controversial, heinous post.
