Not Ranked
Hi everyone....Got home from the local hockeygame and thought to have a quick 11:00 pm peek at the fllor around my front calipers .....sure as %#@* there were 2 tiny puudles of brake fluid under each banjo. Thinking I had this behind me I was cheesed but also happy because a leak would mean air.
So on go the coveys and in go 2 new copper crush washers in each side. The ones that came out were nothing like the new one for meat. Can u imagine Ford wanted 2 bucks each for these things.......lol No wonder there better than the one that came with the calipers or hoses.
I tightened those puppies up and proceeded to pull the air out with the vac pump. Once I thought I had her about done I called the trusty wife out to pressure pump it while i hit it with the mighty vac at the other end. Using two methods in combo.
I had a much better pedal now. I left it for bed.
In the morning I went out to find no leaks and a hard pedal on the first stab that essentially doesn't change too much on the next pumps either.
Seems to be good now and we will see what this virgin brake system gets like later with raod tests etc.
Next comes the McCleod T/O ......
Everyone Thanks for the help.
Perry, I was that close to buying speed bleeders next!

PS FYI having the e-brake yanked on did not make any difference in how the pedal felt while pumping.
