New Problem I Caused

OK - the latest thing I screwed up.....


I was working on lowering the back of the S10.

I sprayed a lot of PB-Blaster to soak the back bolts to loosen them up. I guess I got some on the brake line and must have bumped it.

I got a slow brake fluid leak.
When I test drove the truck around the block to test it, sure enough, almost no brakes!!!

Now I have to replace that bit of rusted line, put in more brake fluid, and bleed the brakes I suppose!?!?

Doh, one more thing....

Now I have to share a car with my wife in the morning because my ride out out, and work is out of electric motorcycle range tomorrow.
