Anyway, back to the problem at hand:
Pretty good, I've done most all of my own repairs on my cars for years (even though, as the years have gone by, there has been less and less that I COULD do) and yet, I've never had to replace the metal rear brake lines, til now. So, I though, okay, I'll just get a pair, bend to fit and get on with it. Now, after I got the lines, I am looking at the old ones that I have to make close copies of and this is looking intimidating to me.
I don't know if it's because all I can seem to think about is all that is going on in my life or what! Surely , all I need to do is to focus on what I'm doing and I can get past this. I like to never have gotten those old lines off of the car. The P.O. had the outside of the car and under the hood, looking pretty good, while the underneath, looked like crap! After doing battle to get the lines off, my left arm looks like a "Self Sacrifice" from coming in contact with the edges of the gas tank seam. If nothing else, I'm going to get me some small hose, slice it down one side and put it over that seam. I don't need to "Donate Blood" that way!
And, Thank God for Arthritis Tylenol! My 63yr old body feels like 93, after getting down on the driveway, rolling around and with all of the getting up and down and such.
THEN, I've still got to do the front, adjust all 4 wheels, replace the master cylinder and bleed it all out! The weather isn't cooperating very well either, dodging rain, wind and occasional thunderstorms.
BTW, when I got into the rear brakes, I found that the self adjuster setup was inplace on the right rear wheel, but missing on the left!
