Brake's?
I sprung a leak tonight at a rear wheel. By the time I got the wheel off I
couldn't see much. The fluid seems odorless ( to my nose anyway ) seems
clearish and so I'm guessing that it's the rear cylinder. But, if it's the
rear seal, what parts would I need to do both. I'm only going to get one
shot at a parts store tomorrow morning. (next shot: next weekend)
Looking at Moss' catalogue, it looks like 3 pieces for seals/o-rings for the
axle end of things and what else would I need for the brakes besides a rear
cylinder (and a rebuild kit for the old one to use as a spare. Any cautions
that I should be aware of in rebuilding a rear cylinder and then storing it?
Bag it?) I'm guessing that the parts store will know, but any advice will
be appreciated. I would hate to be grounded for a small oversight. Time
becomes more precious at this point in the year when the kids' school is
about to start again.
I assume that my 1300 mile shoes are toast.
I haven't done brakes beyond pads, shoes, drums and rotors and don't have
any specialty tools ( but I can get those at lunch hours ). And I've not
done a seal. (Daniel, isn't the French word for seal ( the animal ) closer
to 'fook' in pronunciation?)
Off to read Haynes ... and discuss whether Sprite ( ever look up 'Sprite' in
the dictionary? (for those that don't think 'svelte' is a good word :) ))
parts or school uniforms take priority tomorrow AM.
