need brake bleeding help

[the_chief]

anyone in lakewood/golden want to help me bleed my brakes tonight? i don't know how, but i am gonna try. 20th and simms, i supply pizza and beers. near 20th and simms.

do i need a special wrench for the hard line fittings, my 3/8" open is as close as i can get, but it wont hold the fitting.

303.408.1419 dave - thanks a bunch either way.

haha, i got a phone call instead. I can't even get the new brake line on, or old one off, i should say, so b4 i destroy the bolts, i'm gonna just take it two blocks away to brakes plus for th 35 dollar brake fluid flush, and get the guys to put the brake line on too.

In the future, don't use an open 3/8" on the brakelines...you definitely want to invest a few bucks in a good brake wrench. (Looks like a box wrench with a slot to fit over the brakeline) The extra surface area on that type wrench will turn the brakeline fitting without rounding the corners.

Did you get the job done, or still need assist?

thanks for the advise. good to know. I had it done at the shop down the street, they've been pretty fair with me so far.

they r and r'd the flexy with my pricejacker stainless extended for 1/2hr, flushed and fill brake lines 35$, inspect and adjust both rr drums (which i messed with quite a bit) for 18$

funny thing is, the drums on myy 88 d35 are way bigger than my new 94 d35. but the lil ones seem to work noticably better. i am pleased with the axle swap.
