Helpful Brake Hint for Wheel Cylinders.

Post

Back to the top
T'was the day before Christmas, and low and behold I lost a wheel Cylinder… No worries I had a spare.
Getting it off took a little creative effort, as one of the Allen bolts Stripped.

Remove the backing plate, left-handed drill bit and it's out. Run to my Favorite Hardware store to get a few, and missed it by 10 minutes…Closed @ 1 Christmas Eve.
No worries off to the Parts store and my Shoes didn't make it to the store… Okay now I have to wait.

But I did have time to clean it all up, and discover that the Acorn bolt that holds the front seat rail is a M6X1.0 Allen that is a direct fit.

So if you ever need an Allen for that Cylinder, you have a Spare in the Drivers or Passengers seat.  Just be sure that you replace it with a bolt to stop the slide…. :) until you get it replaced.  :)

So now I have to wait for Wednesday Morning to get 4 new Allens, and my shoes.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
