My Midget has wire wheels. I have a Haynes manual and it doesnt say much
about maintaining them. I cleaned up the splines and regreased them.
There is a little bit of wear on the splines. How can I tell whether the
wheels need replaced?
BTW--
If you want to make your own vacuum brake bleeder, I did so by getting a
used 60 cc Syringe from my vetrinarian, cutting an inch of aquarium sized
tubing and putting it over the tip, then putting a foot long lenghth of
bleeder sized tubing over this and clamping it with a small hose clamp.
Works great! Total cost: $1.33. Clean the syringe out with brake fluid
first :^) These syringes are also great for flushing out brake lines,
filling brake parts with fluid before assembly etc. They last foreever
too.
