So, I.m out in the garage this afternoon, adjusting the parking brake pads on the C3. Had to take the rotor off to properly align the adjustment hole on the rotor to the hub plate opening to get at the adjuster wheel. Loosened the bleeder screws to get the pads back on (C3 brakes are a PITA), whip out my 1 month old HF vacuum pump, bleed the outside screw on the RH caliper, then the inside screw, and one more bleed on the outside screw again, BOOM!
Vacuum tube seal exploded. Damn. Quick run to BF, 10 miles away, exchanged the POS for another POS, and may not be able to finish the RH side, as well as check the left side alignment. Some dumb shit put the rotors on incorrectly (me). Don't know when I'll get to it now, Marianne may go in tomorrow - waiting for the phone call from the hospital. Bummed. |

All this talk about C3’s lately makes wish I uncovered mine to take a photo of it when I had the chance to a couple of weeks ago.

It was my daily driver all through my 20's, and I thoroughly enjoyed it in my 30's. I simply don't have room for it at home but couldn't get rid of it. My brother lives about an hour from that house, and he takes it out for field trips, but I don't think it has been started in 3 years or so.

Morning again Barn peeps
No sleep again, but this time an herniated disc is the perp. Been about 5 years since the last episode. Took a couple of 5mg Oxicodones over the past 8 hours,I have left from my knee surgery in 2020. Helps a bit, but still can't rest well. Marianne is still up and on the run(s) ~ every 2 hours. What a messed up predicament. Pain normally starts easing after 7 days for me (Saturday, worst is yet to come) Hope you all have a better day than we're having. (I wish, ) |
