Subway4X3 Shameless Copycat Build

Who cares if you spill some? Put a pan under it Floyd lol

 

Don't fuck with brakes. Bleed them all. Sometimes it could be a bitch. It took me 2 days of bleeding and letting gravity do the trick for my motorcycle. I had all new master cylinder, stainless braided lines, and I rebuilt the calipers. Total pain in the ass and the lines were at most 2 feet long.

 

Just put a vacuum cap over the end of the line when you unscrew it. Swap the line. Bleed that caliper only. No need to do all four corners unless you let so much fluid drain out that air gets into the ABS module.

 

I've read that too much air in the line it will get up to the abs module and seriously fuck it up.

 

ive read that if the ABS module gets too low in brake fluid, it seriously fucks it up

 

Well, I be doing this little brake project tonight after dinner and dessert.

New line will be ready.

Yes. P/N 47318-04150 (Drivers side front)

Pan at the ready.

I try the easiest first. This is it.

The good news: I saved the vacuum cap that you suggested awhile back.
The bad news: I saved it with my new brake line. I can't find 'em.
EDIT: Found

Apparently you two are agreeing: Air present in the system equals no brake fluid in same system.
To mitigate this, I've added a lot more brake fluid.

 

dont fall asleep under the truck

 

Another thing I learned. Thanks TW!

Got to use my fancy flex head flare nut wrench (didn't really need the flex part.)


Out with the old. In with the new

 

Bled the brakes, using Nick's (@Crom ) handy writeup.


Initial drive/brake testing gives all indications that I did this correctly.

 

Truck still looks good with 265/70R16 Michelin LTX's

 

I might need to buy a set of daily wheels and tires!

 

Yeah. Michelin LTX's are quieter, lighter and are good in snow/ice

 

I put over 10k miles on my ST Maxx's in 8 months lol

 

That's not good. I love my ST Maxx's, so want to save them as much as possible for off road terrain. They will wear down pretty quick as a daily driver in hard pavement.

 

I'm getting ready to upgrade my OBA.

Can I use regular air hose between manifold and air tank?

Manifold has extra port for future air locker.

Anything else I need? @stairgod @HolyHandGrenade @fatfurious2

 

After the leader hose you can use regular air hose to get to the tank.

 

Thanks Jon.
Should I add this

$10 Control Devices P2525-1WA Brass Ball Check Valve, 1/4" NPT Female x NPT Male

check valve before the tank to prevent air from leaking back?

 

I believe the twin has a built in check valve. I have an external one in my set up. Can't hurt to have two.

 

Yeah I know! They are wearing well though. Bought these then life changes have my commute increase to 80 miles round trip haha

 

I am having problems with my ADD.
I'm saving these links for repair reference.
Gonna be busy tonight. I have the AAOA meet tomorrow.
