A little late. :-)
I did just the fronts. All I had fluid for. It was the first time
I used the EZ-Bleed. It worked well for me.
I do need to do the backs. Probably in a couple of weeks. I'll do
the whole system again when I do that.
Oh, I found another DPO bomb. The brake pressure sensor is not
hooked up.
And last night the tach decided to quit working. It would always delay
for a few seconds on startup and the bounce to life. I'll track down the
wiring, soon. Or is the prior symptom the sign of death?
