hi kids..
i know its not a big deal, but its been making me nuts for a week or so...
(course it dosent take much when yer this close anyways :oD )
but i finally fixed my brakes!!
OH but wait..its NEVER a normal 'broken 'round here!
let me just tell you that if you ever pressure bleed your system...
be very careful.
im guessing when i did it...
i managed to over pressurize the reservoir ,pushing brake fluid past the cups in the master..
filling servo with brake fluid...also over pressurizing the servo ..down the hose and..poof!
i think that took out my diaphragm in pump..
putting a nice 1.5 inch rip in it.
still was making enuff vacuum to give me some brakes..
all this on new master n re-built vacuum pump.
sigh.....im pretty dumb sometimes... :o/
thankyou roger for telling me what kind of vacuum to expect from pump.
i had vacuum..but just NOT ENUFF
and add to that the fluid in the servo.. :o/
just another day in paradise.
but i still have ice-cream.
and brakes!
thanks
cassie
