I'm changing mine because I'm getting ridiculous amounts of air in the system.
No fluid loss at all. I bleed the brakes, drive for 10 minutes, and I got no brakes - none.
Re-bleed, drive for 10 minutes, same thing. Run-out on the rotors is less
than .010, but apparently this is too much for the lip seals. The piston
movement allows air into the system without leaking fluid.
So far, I've replaced all pads, rotors, calipers, booster, 3 different master
cylinders, rear brake lines. I'm pretty tired of bleeding the brakes (done at
least 5 times the last 3 weeks). Hopefully the o-ring units will give me some
good results. I can't get my buddy's run-out gauge now as racing season is
starting, so I may just end up buying some good quality rotors next.
Chinese shit is ruining my hobby.

Overdid it over the weekend... Parts are sore that shouldn't be so probably take the rest of the day off.

That's ok I have a large ham to snack on and old movies to watch.

Highest pollen count ever recorded in Raleigh today... Son of a....

Personally think it was higher here yesterday as it was brutal.
Pine pollen didn't bother me this year with zyrtec , didn't work so well on other pollens. Better than allegra did for me at least.

Interesting stuff isn't it...

Damn it got hot out... Bear said we were coming inside. Good doggie.

Think I've finished the jack painting. Waiting for pump and some springs to arrive then should go back together (one at least).

Should clean the gutters this afternoon
