No luck. Bleeder valve not available on said product. Picture has not been updated.
$10 store credit offered.
Plan B.

You can use your bleeder valve assembly, all you need is the special bolt that holds the bleeder valve on, and if your old one will fit, then you are good to go.
If that is a 620 brake cylinder, then just go find a 620 and grab the part.

Excessive rusting issues.

That is why I hunted down a set of cylinders that came with the bleeder valves.

Plan B is going to be trying to save the ones I have. I'm not very optimistic.

They're soaking currently before I proceed to remove them.

And...

























Um...

I'm getting a different car.

True story.


























Retiring the Honda.

[510freak]

Whats the replacement?

[flatcat19]

1998 Lexus LS400

Been our backup car for a few years. It's being called up to the bigs.

[510freak]

Nice

We inherited the Lexus a while ago.

Game plan has always been to sell Lexus to pay off wife's Honda Pilot then I get to buy a car.

Her thought...keep Lexus. Keep Pilot. Use Lexus. Do something with the Accord. Sell it? Keep it? Turn it in to a fish tank?




We're doing all we can to buy a house in the next 1-2 years. Me being wrapped up in another car payment for 4-5 years is just stupid.









"Yes, honey. You're right. Me driving the Lexus is a very good idea. But...I'm lowering it and putting wheels on the sumabitch!" "OK" she said.

[510freak]

Sounds like a solid plan

You planning to buy in TriShitties or still wanting to move back to PDX?

You planning to buy in TriShitties or still wanting to move back to PDX?

Yes.


A $150,000 house here is close to $300K there.


We're going to be here for at least a year. I'm willing to stick that out and see what my dealership can do for me as far as Factory Certifications.

[510freak]

If you have knee pads,I can get you certified

Same reason I'm headed to Idaho in '17 -- half price housing market.

If you end up making the move down here you can have my job when I leave .

[flatcat19]

No way. Your job sucks.

[DRIVEN]

Some days. There's a whole thread about it.
