Everette,
I always take my manual & photocopy all pages that I need on a project,
prior to starting the work. On a pain in the butt job, I make 2 copies.
That way whomever is helping can also follow the techs. This system works
well & my manuals are quite clean, even after usage for 2 years.
I will research my records after Christmas & find the source of my brake
rebuild.
I paid less for the complete set of Cylinders, Lines, Master Cylinder &
Shoes, than I would have paid my local dealer for just the Cylinders &
Shoes.
That was with a supposed mechanics discount.
TO ALL "MERRY CHRISTMAS" "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" "HEALTHY & HAPPY NEW YEAR"
