WOOOHHOOOOOO!!! My brakes are finally done and I can drive my car again. It's been on jackstands for over a month now and the test drive tonight after it was all done was totally awesome! No problems at all.

I installed all new o-ring calipers, all stainless flex lines, replaced all of the rear hard lines and main rear line with stainless hard lines (i ordered the whole kit but the front was already put together if you remember any of my previous posts so I left it alone for now in the interest of time.), and new distribution blocks. The rear main line wasn't too bad after i lowered the tranny crossmember on that side. I couldn't get any of the clips loose except for the one behind the tranny crossmember so I cut them with a pair of wire cutters and smashed them flat so they wouldn't rub against the lines- they are pretty secure with the one clip that i could replace and some good ol zip ties (i wondered breifly if bubba is a distant cousin of mine). I bled the brakes twice around with my motive pressure bleeder with dot 4 - best money i ever spent.

I did however scratch my left rear caliper all up putting the wheel on . that sucked but i guess i can just touch it up later. anyways, i'll check my fluid level in a couple days just to make sure i don't have any leaks but so far things are looking up. Maybe I can forget about the brakes for a while.

 

feels good don't it...
