Just one quick bitch, part two

Waiting on a phone call, I hate waiting on phone calls

You and me both. My sympathies.

Really, really weird me.  I have no problem speaking in public.  No fear, nerves, etc.  Where I fall down is that my eyes and brain stop processing so that I really don't know what I will or have said or whether I've made "eye contact" with my audience.  Predictably it's lead to some interesting sharing in 12 step meetings.

I don't have any problems speaking in public either. Quite the contrary. I have a problem with participating in a social setting.

Only if nobody does it.

Mine never came

I had a brake line rust through on the van and  the fittings on one end of it  is stuck

The rear bleeder valves on the brakes are seized going to have to try something else to get the air out of the system

Can anyone here help Parts with his blow job?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

I always ended up replacing the wheel cylinders every time it happened to me, because I'd bust the screws...the pistons in the cylinders were usually rusted 90% of the time anyways. Soak them good with PB Blaster and let them set, sometimes that will work.

They have a tool now that is supposed to remove the screws without snapping them off...around $40 though I think. Not sure how good it works.

Something like this:

That would work great in the front but I had no problem with those ones just the ones on the drums which are in an impossible spot to get at even with just a wrench. I had soaked them with PB six or seven times since the day before and they were still stuck.  I ended up bleeding the line after the break where it goes up over the axle just before it splits.  I figured there was fluid at that point and no air and if I bled the system up to that point I would get almost all the air out and then see how it felt .  It ended up working much better than I expected with no sponginess at all and the brakes seem to be working normally, I just have to keep an eye on it for now.

Cool. You should be good unless one starts sticking.

I hate doing the drums. Had them up front on the bug too until I converted them. PITA.

It's been a couple of years since I last tried fixing breaks in a car. It always seems to go wrong, somehow, with rusty pipes or discs, and it always ends up with everything else bleeding but the bloody system.

WTF just fixed the brakes now the serpentine belt cam off while I was driving, it didn't break it just came off too pissed now to investigate further

Maybe it needs an exorcist.

I think it does too.  The tension pulley disintegrated

That looks like Trigger before his daily coffee.
