Well boyZ, everything was going good, I started to bleed the brakes, well I was on my first one (the passenger rear), it went good.. then I went to top off the master cylinder with the 2 bottles of RBF600 I had, come to find out both unopened bottles were bad..

How were they bad you ask?

Well, I poured a little bit into the master cylinder, and saw the fluid to be damn near clear as water.. I guess I had the bottles for so long, the fluid went bad. So now I gotta order more which means, the car will be down for a few more days.

I didnt think it could go bad if the bottles were sealed. How long have you had those bottles?

I still wanna get a multi state East Coast meet to happen some day. Rusty, JL, Wolfe, Wheels, and a few others. Could do a winery run!!

Winery run. The wife would go for that. Erie Pa. has some nice wineries. I'm about 3 hrs south of there.

As long as you're fine drinking with a few 29 year old. Just give me a date and we will make the drive!

id prefer you not lol

eastwest2300 04-12-2018 07:20 PM

however, on the bright side of things.. I got teflon tape on all the bleeder screws, I put 15 psi of air in the system, it held it pretty well (about 93%).. I ordered 3 bottles of RBF600, I'll have to start over and get all the sketchy fluid thats in the master cylinder out, hopefully I'll be good to go in a few days.

Leingod 04-12-2018 07:21 PM

I can't spell either when using my phone. So many typos....

If you never think about the Blue Ridge Parkway. To do the whole thing will take you 2 days from end to end. Speed limit is 35 to 45 mph. If no traffic, pedal down. :driving: Traffic, it lives up to it's name, Parkway. Campers and sightseers. But it's a nice drive. Great views.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic. It will suck moisture out of the air. An open sealed bottle is good for no more then 6 months. Unopened bottles. I wouldn't trust over a year.

EW, bleed your brakes a couple of times. Then after a month. Get the brakes real hot, like when you are bedding the pads in. After you do that. Bleed them again. This should take care of any remaining moisture in the system.

You never bleeded the brakes on a car that took DOT 5 silicone brake fluid with DOT 5.1 brake fluid. :eek: :shakes head: :mad: Talk about a MESS! DOT 5 when mixed with 5.1 becomes jelly. EVERYTHING comes apart and cleaned. :shakes head:

If we get the time, we are def doing it. It's on my list of top things to learn. And I'd be able to do my own calipers in the future.

Outlook is great for the weekend and me getting started on installing stuff...

WEEKEND WEATHER No other way to describe it...the weather will be nasty this weekend. Rain is likely on Saturday and Sunday that could be heavy at times. 1-2" of rain is likely. There could be a thundershower in the mix, esp. south of I-94. It will be windy and much colder. It's quite possible rain will transition to freezing rain and sleet to the north of G.R. The transition to freezing rain will occur much sooner north of Grand Rapids resulting in significant amounts of ice (up to an inch of freezing rain possible in the Winter Storm Watch area. This will coincide with strong easterly winds, gusting to 30-35 mph. The combination of the could produce power outages due to fallen power lines and very difficult travel conditions. Temperatures will be mostly in the 30s Saturday and Sunday. Precipitation will change to snow Sunday night

Leingod 04-13-2018 06:24 AM

Going to be a fun day when you wake up to a multitude of emails
