bleeding brakes

[spidernut]

We had a nice break in the weather today, so I decided to bleed the brakes since the prior owner replaced the differential, brake calipers, brake pads and brake lines but never bled the brakes. Obviously I haven't been driving the car

It is absolutely amazing how brakes work better when the brake lines aren't filled with air. I'm now one step closer to being able to drive the car. The next project is to replace the fuel injection pump mount bushings, replace the fuel filter, do a full tune-up and get it emissions tested. So close, but so far away............

Not a bad idea to have a good length of new 9mm fuel hose handy. Even if that isn't part of your plan many an owner has found themselves down while waiting for the proper 9mm replacement hose to arrive after the existing hose fell apart in their hands while replacing a fuel pump or filter. I don't think you can buy the proper size line at your average parts store so you I bought "too much" from one of the usual vendors and keep it on hand.
