brakes

So far the rear brake job is going really smoothly. The bleeder bolts came off, but were they stuck on, or what!? I understood everything the book talked about. Those brakes are a very simple system. I think I'll get new pads and new cylinders. That should be good. Everything else looks fine. It was fun bleeding the brakes. It was like a squirt gun.

Adjusting the brakes is explained in great detail in my awesome book. I can make these brakes work really well again. I never knew that some mechanics stuff isn't that bad, especially on an older car.
