Today was the day to fix my leaking right front wheel cylinder.  Pretty 
straight forward, rebuild the cylinders, new shoes, clean everything, and 
away we go.  Right side went as planned, but when I got to the left side, I 
was shocked to see the brake hose had been rubbing against the A-arm.  It was 
rubbed through the outer rubber and the cords.  I'm sure didn't have too much 
life left.  I hate to think what would have happened if my cylinder didn't 
start leaking and I kept going my merry way.  Maybe I'll accelerate those 
plans to install a dual master cylinder setup.
