This is for newbie buyers of Rabbits 1980 to 1984 -- Do NOT do like Hagar -=
he broke 3 bleederscrews before doing it RIGHT.
Do not try to move the screws until you follow directions by LOREN and the=
fella with the detailed instructions . forgot his name but ask me and I s=
hall find it. Say starting with left front--turn wheel full left--use 14 mm=
open end wrench --break line fitting loose.--retighten loosely.----Jack up=
remove wheel ---Remove the two guidepins.---Pull caliper --leave pads. --N=
ow you can turn calipers to remove from Rabbit.---Piece of cake.
With caliper in hand follow "Val Christian" procedure ---it works. Did one=
more yesterday.
Then when finished --remember to do a " exercise "LOREN" ---move screws a=
t least every year. I am going to do it every oilchange. To stop dirt=
and fluid etc. Use an old line. Hacksaw at fitting and use a sheetmetal sc=
rew to terminate. .Those ends are handy for cheapskates like me ---little l=
oss of fluid from Rabbit while doing Caliper. wish you luck. Hagar.
Ps: Thanks Val and Loren.
