Re: Project "Old Yeller"

So this is where things get dicey.....

Brakes....

I would give the brake upgrade a 12 out of 10 wrenches. I haven't had any issue with the ECE stuff. My problems are all due to the fact that I" am working on a 41 year old truck that has never once been apart. The nuts holding all the brake lines together did not want to let go. We spent countless hours in the engine bay and under the truck fussing with the lines.

We finally got everything apart but we unfortunatley rounded qite a few of the soft metal nuts. The wd40 and PB blaster/ torch weren't enough and we had to result in some angry get off power.

Needless to say I will be repairing a couple of the lines with new nuts and re flaring a side.

Booster is in and the break pedal was drilled per instructions for a new mounting/leverage point. M/C was bench bled and installed. Rear break lines are hooked up.(don't mind the dirty engine bay the pressure washer did a number on it...)
