Ontario BS Thread

They worked on the opposite side.


Anyone know if that's a job I can do myself and what is required? New everything for breaks or just clean ?

 

Very easy job, I would say 2 out of 10 on the scale of work. You will need to purchase new rear drum shoes (in case current ones are worn). Wheel cylinder, brake lines wrench 10mm and brake fluid. You may also want to have drum brake hardware (all the springs) available too in case one of them is damaged or broken.

 

And how long would Eugene drive with a pinched off brake line?

 

Well the last time I lost my brakes I drove all the way from Manitoulin island on a single front calliper. Mind you if you pinch brake line, you will need to replace that line as well.

 

For starters, its Evgeny...but to anwer your question, perpetually as this is why he has two e-brake handles

 

Looks like I over ordered. I have an extra set of OE size replacement UCA bushing is anyone needs. Price, rock auto market value (save the rock auto shipping).

Fwiw, these were ordered after the last trip as there was a new creek to the front end when braking. Found that the UCA bolt was loose'ish (~20ft lbs) and torqueing back up to factory consumed 1/4" of fresh bolt thread. Measuring against the new, that all pulled in from the rear bushing, both sides. I thought its a metal sleeve, how does that crush??? This is 100% of Moog components on the Rancho UCA's that has failed in 20kkm!!

 

@3JOH22A quit infecting people with wheel cylinderitis

 

Fvck, he was at my place 2 weeks ago...i also dont need front bumperitis

 

That's only the 2' rubber one, though, right? Nice excuse for stainless

 

Well, I had SS then, had to fork another $100 to replace then

 

So we are invited to participate at the Drive Festival this Fall.

Wow, i am today years old realising CTMP is Bowmanville. Im in Bowmanville at least twice a year cuz wifes sister and nephew live there. He owns a Greek restaurant joint there.

 

All gone

 

^Once you filled up the brake fluid past the level switch trip point, the system has no other means to detect the problem.

Replacement wheel cylinders are cheap at least. Buy two and carry a spare on the trail:

How much shoe material do you have remaining?

 

I haven't opened anything up yet. Gonna have to wait. I'm not sure I need an extra, it's not like it blew up wheeling. Lasted 7 years.

 

^FYI both of mine went within 4 months / 8k of each other.

 

I haz push to start option as well...but the "press brake pedal" seems counter intuitive

 

Fun fact, you can turn it on without pressing the brake if you hold the fob to the button and hold it for 10 seconds or so

 

Whats a fob?...10 seconds?
