Working on the breaks brakes again.
I was driving the car on this.
More evidence that this thing is a pig. It’s got a cute little tail!
Shout-out to Power Brake Xchange, tiny little shop in pittsburgh that already had a rebuilt booster on the shelf. The perks of owning a GM car. They are few enough.
Shiny.
Also pictures of the previously mentioned fluid damage:
haven’t taken nor posted a picture of how she currently sits. I had my reasons. Here she goes:
Something I want to talk about: banjo bolts. Nobody told me I needed these. I had to run around like a chicken with my head cut off to find replacements so I could get the system sealed back up. Every store that actually carried them only carried one for some dumb reason. Especially considering the copper crush gaskets come in pairs. This is such a janky design, I can’t believe this actually works. Seriously what the fuck. If you aren’t familiar look it up.

Just went with regular lines. the only option was stainless braided that I could find for my car and I won’t really get the benefit out of them. The hard lines I ordered are armored though.

TIL: Those things are called banjo bolts.
They come with 2 washers to go on either end of the “block”, one against the caliper, one against the head of the bolt.

For sure, I’m joking a bit. Braided is nice but overkill for most people, these are on my military truck and the only correct option!

Shit, I didn’t put any washers on the caliper end. I need to go get another pair then?

I usually just reuse them, haven’t had any leaks from it yet. Up to you though.

I swear none came off when I removed the old ones, which is why I thought I was ok with just one on the bolt end. Ill se what I can scrounge up.
