Hi List folk;
I thought I had book marked the link to the speedy bleeder guys. I am
working on brakes on the M-715 again and would like to upgrade to these
"better than OEM" fittings. I have to work on this stuff by myself a lot.
By the way, After having a failure of brakes due to a leak in the left
front wheel area, I discovered that the short piece of steel line, from the
wheel cylinder to the flex line, had rusted so badly that it blew out when
I stomped on the pedal. I had the brakes rebuilt by a local mechanic who
works on big trucks and busses in his business. I am surprised that this
little 2 inch piece of brake line got by his attention, concidering that he
remarked about the old single type brake system being unsafe. I am going
to check and replace all of these lines and inspect the rest myself this
time. Old lesson relearned: if you want a good thourogh repair job, do it
yourself as it is better and cheaper too.
best regards,
Jim (KB4IVH)
