Foreshadowing in the title, there…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the rear brake had been gushing fluid for nearly a month, inside of that brake drum was a mess. I didn’t snap a picture before hosing it down with brake cleaner. It was awful in there. A thick black, sludgy, fuzzy (?) mess. This pic is after a can of brake clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s a little more apparent on the back of this brake shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I fought with that spring clip for a long time, which is probably why I took a picture of it. Take a break from swearing at it. Eventually, I got it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything went back together with the new hardware without any further issues. This was after work one evening and I only had an hour or so of daylight left to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was buttoning everything up, checking that everything on the new wheel cylinder was tight…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bleeder screw broke off in the cylinder. It probably cracked when tightening it, but it actually fell off while I was tightening the hard line below it. I whacked it with the wrench a couple of times and it fell apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I considered trying to use an easy out bolt extractor, but it would be $15 to buy one of those to try or $20 to replace the wheel cylinder (again). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, off to O’Reilly I went. Luckily (and surprisingly) it’s a part they keep in stock (O’Reilly link<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
