Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
Gravity bleeding takes too long.
Wait on this until you can afford a power bleeder. Then show people your cool and charge them small dollars to do their flushes.
http://motiveproducts.3dcartstores.com/0108-GM-Bleeder-Kit-_p_121.html
Then you can have a free tool. I built up my tool collection slowly by buying what I needed for a job as I could or after I worked on someones car and got paid.
Some of the best tools are the ones you never want to use. Like rounded bolt removers etc.

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
That is pretty expensive IMO. I asked my Dad if I could do them on his winter beater and he said no, so I can only see me doing this once, unless other people like my friends want theirs done too. So I guess I'm not looking at spending $65 for a maybe one-time use thing. Maybe if it was $20 I would buy it. But, if I get more money, I will probably buy one. But I have to buy my other things first

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
i made one of these, damn near free. and it works f ing great. you only need a inch of fluid in the bottle, but the hose must be under the fluid. once you've filled the bottle replace it with a new bottle of the same kind, use the cap from the new bottle to cap off the old full one and drop it to be recycled with your oil.

the general rule of them is to start with the farthest wheel cylinder from the master. I suggest passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front.

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
Audi has this in their service every two years. Similar to trans fluid, brake fluid is often overlooked and not maintained properly. When water and dirt get into the fluid, it does not work as well as intended.
While I agree that most newer guys wouldn't buy one, it's a great tool and you should do the fluid on your cars much more often than most people do.

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
Funny. Just had the Spyder up on stands to finish my lower tie bars.
Pulled the wheels. Cracked the bleeders one by one. bye bye brown fluid in the reservoir ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also I have the harbor freight power bleeder or whatever it's cslled. Hooks up to your air compressor. That's definitely quicker but too quick. Drains the tank too quick. So it sat on the shelf. But it IS a great tool, I'm just too lazy in the heat today to run back and forth to keep filling it. But if some one were to stand there and keep filling it, takes a few minutes per side

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
So I bought these door panel clips off Amazon last winter (here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Front-Panel-R...441504322&sr=8-1&keywords=gm+door+panel+clips) and they turned out to be complete garbage. Every single "new" door panel clip I put in broke already. I put one in about a week ago, and in literally 2 days, no joke, it broke. And it's in the back door. I never slam my doors or anything. They always break. So I'm gonna buy new ones and redo all my door panels.
But my passenger door panel will not come off. No clips are broken, but I've pulled and pulled on the panel and it won't come off. No problem with all the others.

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
Don't need to get all scientific here lol. But I tried putting super glue on the heads where it snaps and it didn't do anything. I'm think of drilling those damn panels to the door frame...

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
Probably old clips. Sounds like one panel has never been off. You'll want a plastic wedge and a clip puller for that one. Buying things I can't touch or see first never has made sense to me, even to potentially save a buck.

I tried and tried. Used a pry bar specific for those purposes and no luck. If it doesn't budge, I think it's good.

Its made that way for crash safety, no hurty screws to jab you. Super Glue on those would be like using hairspray to hold back a hurricane!

Re: Meatball Sub with Pickles
I've got emblem tape. Will that work? But I don' know if the whole edge of the panel touches the door frame, you know what I mean. Like I don't where exactly the tape would go to hold it to the door.
