FINALLY got the damn brakes DONE! the car stops like a dream now, just need to get it aligned to fix the pull to the right and it'll be golden. Turns out all I had to do was adjust the pedal linkage just the right way and she was done. Going to hav eto redo some brake lines sometime since we couldn't find the EXACT right parts to work with so I had to use more adapters than I liked, and the lines are bent all retarded. But there no leaks and the lines are able to "give" enough so that rough roads and bumps don't hurt nothing. BIG thanks to ForsakenFew for calling coast to coast TWICE to help my stupid**** out! I'll try to get a pic up shortly.
yeah it's stopping awesome. i heard some strange noises when I was about to the house and smelled something burning, somehow my Cd PLayer fried.....see, everytime I fix something something else*****s up! I actually paid for a fairly expensive one too, now i'll end up having to get a*****ty $30 wal-mart job or something...
You probably already know this, but drive it a bit before you adjust to get rid of the pull. Things like a pull have a way of changing after a couple of hours driving.
RIGHT ON MAN!!!! i'm glad it all worked out and glad i could help. guess i'm finally giving a bit back to the HAMB in the way of info! keep me posted on the ponchos progress erik
I drove it all over today without a hitch, besides it pulling to the left anyways. I'm used to the pulling now so i compensate for it on instinct. i did a quick stop test going about 50 and it stopped so good my head smacked the steering wheel...just glad i didn't hit the big bullet i have for a horn*****on. Apparently while i was messing with the linkage under the dash i did somethign to some wires, that would explain why my cd player fried and my left turn signal now stays on when you turn on the headlights, heh. I'll try to get that sorted out tomorrow. Anyway, thanks again to ForsakenFew again, and anyone else that had advice through this ORDEAL! I'd had been screwed without ya.
