Thread: Brake Job From Hell
Brake Job From Hell
My sister calls last week wanting to borrow 50 bucks cause my bum nephews car is broke down. No brakes...fluid pouring out of the back drivers side brake.
I had them tow it to our house and I paid the tow truck driver.
Got started on the brakes today.
Needed a new whell cylinder and the brakes were into the drum.
I went and got new wheel cylinders, drums and brakes for both sides. 100 smackers.......
Go back home and get the first set on......I had put part of the self adjuster on wrong and had to take everything back apart to turn it around so I could loosen the brakes up after seating them.
I have not even seen drum brakes in 15 years...... and they are a ***** with the springs and all.
Get the other side on and I had a bear of a time getting to the self adjuster from the back. even with the wheel off and the car jacked up there just isnt room for a 50 year old in poor health to get under there.
I finally got the brakes seated and got them to where they would spin.
On to bleeding.
Had to rejack the car so I could get to the bleeder ports on the back and it was so tight that I could barely do it.
Got one side ok and went to the other and quit bleeding while there was still some bubbles coming out but I fiqured Im going to have to go back around anyway and after I get them bled once I can take the car out of the driveway and pull it up on the curb to bleed again.
Went to the front wheel and put my wrench on the bleeder fitting......it was tight as hell......I gave a bit more force and snapped the bleeder fitting off.
Packed it in for the night till I go to advance in the morning and get a new caliper.
Im not even going to attempt to easy out the rest of the fitting. I can have a new caliper on in no time and hopefully some time tomorrow have that POS car out of my driveway.
A whole day wasted on those damn brakes.Let go of my cracker jacks, If you dont Im going to have to beat you....... now then hand my captain crunch back over to me this instant.....or else !!!

been there done that
"On to the bleeding"You or the brakes?
Why would you have to bleed the front brakes?
I have a Mighty Vac for bleeding brakes. A good investment if you do your own auto repairs.

Yep.. I've had to replace a caliper due to a busted bleeder. While I can do the job myself and usually don't struggle with it, I only do it when I have no other choice (like when my auto mechs went to their home country for a wedding - father+son team)

i've worked on more than my share of old cars. old timer told me to 'tighten first then loosen' on stuck bolts/bleeders/etc. Counter-intuitive, I know. Amazingly, it works, and has saved me a lot of broken fittings. You don't tighten much, not even 1/8 turn, you can feel it move a hair. Then loosen. You are also allowed to take your O/A torch and run around the bleeder on the caliper itself. Don't go wild but you can def get some good heat on there. Have an air tip ready to cool it off after you break it free. Sometimes you have to do this 2-3 times, but it works and doesn't destroy the internal parts if U are careful. Old timer taught me this, too.
Having said all this stuck bleeders def can ruin your day
I feel your Pain Brother. Wife has a 92 Yes thats right 92 Suzuki sidekick. I have done everything on it. This weekend was water pump timing belt. The truck only has 380,000KM LOL so this isnt it's first timming belt. She paid a shop to do it the last time it was done. Cause the truck is so old and thier is alot of suzuki dealers out of bussiness I scored the manual from the dealer on this truck it's a must have for foreign beaters., anyways get the truck back toghther 100% by the manual WON'T START I was freaking wanted to smash it with a bat. So it turns out the pro's at the last shop put it toghther wrong I had to play with the spark plug wires to get some crazy firing order cause I put the timming back to stock.
So anayways I feel for ya.
This is today you need the caliper?

"My sister calls last week wanting to borrow 50 bucks cause my bum nephews car is broke down. No brakes...fluid pouring out of the back drivers side brake.
Soooooooooo, why did you do the work? I'd have the Nephew doing the work while I stood over him. Limits my liabilty.
It sound like you don't have the right tools, for the rear drums I use a Caliper tool to set the shoes, most parts places will loan you the tool with the part purchase. A hand Vacuum/Pressure pump makes it easy to bleed, change the fluid. I never use the old hardware, spings stretch, loose their temper, so I get a hardware kit. A lot of part places sell loaded calipers, cheaper than what the parts cost individually. If you rebuild the right side you have to do the left side exactly the same.
Did the breaks and rotated the tires for the first time on this Mitsubishi Montero Sport with aluminum wheels last weekend....
20 minutes for the breaks, 2 hours to the get the wheels off
Highly recommend never seize for aluminum wheels
I worked on that car till 9 something saturday night and then yesterday afternoon from about 11am till 4pm.
I didnt worry about bleeding the front brakes. Hopefull that broked fitting will stay shut for a while till I can get the time and the gumption to possibly try and repair it.
My original mission was to replace the bad wheel cylinder on the drivers side that was blown out. Once into the wheel I discovered that the shoes had gone to metal and the drum needed replacing. I went ahead and decided to do both wheels. New drums, news shoes, new drums.
I got the bad side done and put back together fine.......and thats where I should have stopped.
I decided to go ahead and replace the wheel cylinder on the other side fiquring it might need it soon. Did this good wheel and had just an absolutely awlful time getting the brakes to sit right......I finally fiqured out sunday afternoon that the self aduster lever was getting caught on the adjuster or something and wouldnt let the brake shoes come in tight against the wheel cylinder.
I found this out after bleeding the brakes last night then test driving the car this morning...... the good side wheel cylinder popped out of one side. I put the old one back on...bled that brake and it leaked again..... One side of the piston kept pushing out.
Went and got a new wheel cylinder and as I was putting this one together for some reason I reached in and pressed on the self aduster lever and I hear a snap as the shoes pulled together closer.
Test drove the car one more time and I thought this new was leaking but it must have just been accumulated fluid on the tire and wheel cause I tore the wheel down once more and it was clean and dry.
Hopefully its fixed.
I hadnt done drum brakes in many years...so I didnt know exactly what I was doing. Those shoes not coming together should have been obvious to me but I kept thinking that the drum and then pushing them out with the adjuster would "seat" them properly.
This is one of my bum nephews cars and its not worth the parts I put on it this weekend. He destroys any car he gets his hands on. Beats dents into them, beat the interior to pieces....drives them into ground.... The front discs are grinding right now and its something I will have to do next weekend. Last time I did his front brakes he had driven the car to the point where one of the pads had come off and the piston was grinding into the rotor.
Bald tires too.....gonna have to replace them. He goes thru a couple of sets of tires a year.....no sh*t......
If they dont wear out he busts them.... his rims look like someone took a hammer and just beat dents into them where he must get high or something and run into curbs or something.Let go of my cracker jacks, If you dont Im going to have to beat you....... now then hand my captain crunch back over to me this instant.....or else !!!
Oh, a positive from this experience......
I got two used brake drums now. Been wanting to build a brake drum forge but just have not had the time to go by a junkyard and get one.
These are small....9 inch..... but I can experiment with it and see if its going to work for me.Let go of my cracker jacks, If you dont Im going to have to beat you....... now then hand my captain crunch back over to me this instant.....or else !!!

Yea, I always have a tendency to want to do too much myself. I've found there are videos on the internet now for just about every make and model of any part that you want to replace. A lot of the parts shops have these to encourage DIYers. A friend has a 2006 Ford Taurus that may need rear brakes shoes, so I found a video to walk me through it.

How 'bout throwing them in the crock pot with some sweet and sour sauce or bar-b-que sauce and then serve with rice or potatoes....?????

Cook 'em???
Take some rice, broth, little garlic and throw it on top of the chicken and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to an hour.
We are having left over beef tenderloin.
just keep on swimming!
ds has another free individual pizza coupon from his book it reading at school...so we are taking the kids to Pizza Hut for dinner...I am printing out all the nutritional info from thier site so, dh and I can be responsible eaters...and stay on our diets... I can't believe how much Fat is in one slice of Pizza....OOHHH MY
as for those chicken breast you can also get a can of Cream of Mushroom soup and bake them with it on it....
alsthought I like Ann's recipe better...LOL...
Dancing through life
We're having broiled fish, fruit, bread, and some sort of steamed veggie.
Angie every time I take out chicken I end up pondering what to do with it. I think it's because it's so versatile. We're having chicken tomorrow with fat free cream cheese, cream soup, italian seasoning, and some red and black pepper. I serve that over rice or pasta.
I'm going to be putting a roast in the crockpot this morning with potatoes and carrots. YUM! Neither of my dks like cooked carrots so I will just give them raw ones.
Angie- we had teriyaki chicken on Saturday night served over rice. My dh even used some of the left over chicken to top a salad and said it was really good.

Wheel of the World by Carrie Underwood
JAK and I are on the same wave length... I've already got the Roast/onions going in the crockpot and a little later will add the potato's and carrots. I'll also add (not to the crockpot... lol) bread/salad to the menu and that will be it.
Diane P.
We are going to have roast beef, roast potatoes and carrots and yorkshire puddings, with gravy too. This is the first time in awhile that DH will be home in time for supper, so we are all going to sit at the table together, what a treat.
I am going to do it in the oven though, maybe next time I will try the crock pot.
Maybe I will do an apple crisp for dessert for a nice change, the dk's dont like so maybe I will let them have a chocolate pudding or ssome raw apple if they want.
Cant wait till supper it sure will be nice to have Dh home, but tomorrow night it is back to just my and the kids since DH has to work.

No idea. We were supposed to be eating at my mom's, so now I need to come up with something.
We're having meatball hoagies.
Angie, what about making chicken enchiladas?
When you have decided what you believe, ...have the courage to stand alone and be counted.
Well it's 3:15 and I have nothing out for dinner. hmmmm..... ds has karate class at 5:30 gets home from school in 15 minutes and we usually eat at 4pm-4:30 on karate days. I'm thinking the sugar cookies dd and I made today will be good. lol. dd and I are going grocery shopping during class so maybe we'll find something good and quick then. Or it's soup and sandwiches. hmmmm....
I ended up cooking all the chicken in the crock pot. I pulled out half and bbq'd it for tomorrow night. The rest of the chicken I left in the crockpot and added, carrot/peas and cream of chicken soup. Kind of like a chicken pot pie? I made a ton of mashed potatoes and put some up in the freezer. I also baked chocolate chip and sugar cookies.
I came home late from work today...it's already after 5, and nothing is prepared
It might just be a soup, salad and sandwich night.
Always do what you want, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind

Hopefully we will be having chicken and broccoli fettucini. I bought everything to make it and have put it all on the counter and told ds that I worked all day, got groceries after school, paid bills , so HE can make supper for us!
If anybody has any leftovers......I'll be there around eight!
Oh, one saving grace....have dessert left over from last night....who knows - that may become the main course for tonight!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Pawnshop tracking to change in Salem
During Monday night's selectmen's meeting, Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten discussed changes under way for town ordinances related to how secondhand dealers and pawnbrokers conduct business.
Patten said there are more than 20 such businesses in Salem right now, which makes it tedious and time-consuming for local police to manually monitor transactions and make sure all of the items being sold arrived there legitimately.
In early November, Salem police initially approached the board seeking an amendment to Salem Municipal Code 251. The ordinance requires pawnshops to put a 30-day hold on items before placing them up for sale. This past fall, town officials agreed it would make sense to raise the annual licensing fee for pawnshops from $1,000 to $1,250, which would allow the town to subscribe to an online tracking program.
Patten said Business Watch International could track all pawn transactions almost instantly, though the program costs around $5,000 annually. Further changes to the ordinance are intended to address earlier concerns that time and resources would be spent monitoring the sales of such low-ticket items as CDs and movies.
Minors wouldn't be permitted to sell items to the pawnshops and those of age would have to show photo identification prior to all transactions. Patten said the sales of items like office furnishings, used clothing and used automobiles wouldn't be subject to electronic monitoring.
"These are things that aren't typically taken during the residential burglaries we've seen," he said.
The ordinance also would make an exception for trade-ins for items "of equal or lesser value," like DVDs.
Police are currently in the process of meeting with staff at every pawnshop in town to discuss the pending changes, Patten said, and officers are being trained to use the new software properly.
"If everything goes as planned, the changes are targeted for March 1," he said.
Longtime Salem resident John Lydon said he supported the changes.
"The police are doing a great job, but there are lots of hurdles," he said. "These regulations will help them get over those hurdles."
Discussion on the topic will continue during the Feb. 11 meeting, with a final vote on the matter to be taken Feb. 28.

ST. LOUIS — For a few hours, Mark Sanchez had every right to feel good about himself and the direction of the New York Jets.
After a turnover-free Sunday in the Jets' solid 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams, the beleaguered quarterback was the unquestioned No. 1. Sanchez believes it's the type of performance that can become contagious.
PHOTOS: Jets beat Rams
"If you really take the positives from this game, build on those, continue to get better and improve, we can become a team that just doesn't turn the ball over," Sanchez said. "That could be our identity, if you want it to be and if you work at it."
Sanchez was an efficient 15 of 20 passing for 178 yards and a touchdown, while Tim Tebow was merely a footnote. The Jets dominated on defense, too. And New York stopped a three-game losing streak, and will head into a Thanksgiving night meeting against the AFC East-leading New England Patriots with renewed confidence.
"Our guys have been working extremely hard and I'm really happy for all of us that it showed," coach Rex Ryan said. "We needed a win, obviously, in the worst way."
Bilal Powell ran for the first two touchdowns of his career, Chaz Schilens scored on a 25-yard reception and Nick Folk kicked a pair of 51-yard field goals for the Jets (4-6), who were outscored 58-16 the previous two games. The Jets overcame a tumultuous practice week with several anonymous players quoted in a newspaper report disparaging the ability of Tebow, who had a handful of snaps but was no factor.
Linebacker Bart Scott created a bit of fuss when he initially declined to speak to reporters, complaining of unfair treatment, and barked at teammates to follow suit, yelling to one: "You didn't get the memo?"
Scott later relented.
Ryan had anticipated Tebow to have a larger role but changed the game plan because the Rams surprised them with different looks on defense. Continued...
"And that kind of maybe shut him down a little more than we had originally planned," Ryan said. "That was part of the reason you never saw a whole lot of him."
Brandon Gibson caught a pair of short touchdown passes for the Rams (3-6-1), who committed three turnovers and are in an 0-4-1 slump. St. Louis' defense hasn't forced a turnover in five straight games, tying the NFL's longest such slump since 1950, according to STATS LLC.
"We knew they were going to come out and give us their best shot and with some fight because of all the stuff that has been going on over there," Rams middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "Teams in the NFL just don't fold."
The Rams were favored for the first time this season, a 3½-point pick coming off an impressive outing in a 24-24 tie at San Francisco a week earlier to beat a team that had been sliding. They've lost two straight at home — three in a row counting a blowout loss to the Patriots in London — after a 3-0 start.
The Jets, moving past blowout losses at Seattle and against Miami, led 13-7 at the half and put it away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Konrad Reuland's 18-yard catch to the 5, the longest of his career, set up Powell's 5-yard run for a 20-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. Powell, who was questionable after sustaining a concussion against the Seahawks last week, shared carries with Shonn Greene and added an 11-yard TD run for a 27-7 cushion.
Gibson's 1-yard catch capped an 86-yard drive on the first possession and his 2-yard grab cut the deficit to 27-13 with 5:40 to go with the Rams failing on a 2-point conversion pass.
Neither team moved the ball that well, with the Jets' 289-yard outing topping the Rams by 8 yards, putting ball security in the spotlight.
"Turnovers and penalties, they just hurt us," Rams running back Steven Jackson said. "It was kind of like stubbing your toe."
The Jets capitalized on a turnover to take their first lead in 10 quarters plus an overtime period on Schilens' scoring catch that made it 10-7 with 4:31 to go in the half. Two plays earlier, Muhammad Wilkerson stripped Bradford and Scott returned the fumble 38 yards. Continued...
Folk is the second kicker in Jets history with two 50-yard field goals in the same game. He's missed just three of 16 attempts, including a pair of blocked kicks in the last three weeks. Janoris Jenkins got all of the ball to snuff a 26-yard attempt in the first half, leaving the Jets with nothing to show for Eric Smith's interception that gave them possession at the St. Louis 13.
NOTES: Rams backup LB Mario Haggan (right elbow) was injured on the opening series and did not return. ... Jets backup CB Aaron Berry (quadriceps) was sidelined in the third quarter and DT Kenrick Ellis (left knee) did not return after getting hurt in the first quarter. Ryan did not know the severity of either injury. ... Bradford has been sacked in 26 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL, according to STATS LLC.

[Solved] Does Firefox ignore max-width? Image is much too big
Hey guys,
I'm working on a new site. There's still much to do, but I have a failure, that I don't get fixed by myself.
http://yellow-bull.bplaced.net/ If I open this site in Chrome, everything looks nice and as it should. If I open it in IE, it's crap... but that's ok ;) But if I open it in Firefox, it's crap as well. It looks like Firefox ignores the "max-width=100%" and stretches the image as large as it can be. So the layout is over 100% width...
Do I look at the wrong position or where is the "bad" code?
Thanks in advance!
@Webbster; it's falling apart in every browser not only those you mentioned. Chrome does same thing on 24" monitor like IE and FF on smaller ones. You need to wrap the whole thing in container at least something like this.
#container { width:100%; max-width:1200px; min-width:640px; margin: 0 auto; overflow:hidden; }
Edit: You can change min-width of container to whatever suits you.
@jurotek; thanks for your answer. I tried this, but it didnt't work for me... After putting a container with max-width: 1200px or something similar, the layout looks like this: http://yellow-bull.bplaced.net/ And if I'm setting 1200px to something greater, the whole design looks like in the first post, the image is to big then. I already found out, that, if I'm using a fixed width for the set_content-Element, everything is ok. But unfortunately that's not, what I want.
Here's a part of the code for the set_content:
@media only screen and (min-width: 90em) { .set_content { width: 50%; font-size: 150%; padding: 2em 10%; } .headerimage { width: 70%; } }
As a container, I now used the one from jurotek.
Hey Webster I'm not sure this will solve your problem. But, if removing "float: left" on div id "primary" and also removing the "max-width" on div id container, it seems to work better (at least in Safari).
The lower part (bellow the nav) keeps centered and have the same width as the upper part (header).
Note. Looks like the header image is not big if enough for big screens - over 110 em it will not fill out over the white area. But that is quite wide, so maybe nothing to worry about…

@magnus_vb: Yeah, it's working! You are my hero of the week! :D And thanks for the note; I will put a max-width with a very high amount over all, so at really big screens, this shouldn't be a problem. Thank you guys!
