<div dir="ltr"><div>The procedure is described in the book Go Like Hell by A.J. Baime. in 1996 at 4:10 AM Ken Miles who was in the leading car pulled into the pits.

The rotors, calipers and hubs would have been many hundreds of degrees HOT. They must have been wearing asbestos suits or had some other way to deal with the heat - or to cool things down. The pads would also need to be changed. What about the calipers? This all a bit fiddly even in a calm state of affairs. To say it only took minutes is probably an exaggeration. Just as much an exaggeration in saying it would take a team of small town mechanics several hours to change out a couple of rotors. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I too would really like to know more about how they did this.<br></div><div> <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 13, 2019 at 9:01 AM Bob Spidell <<a href="mailto:bspidell@comcast.net">bspidell@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I wondered that myself. Maybe some sort of check valve on the
brake lines and pre-filled calipers, allowing bleeding with just a
couple quick pumps on the brake pedal?<br>
<br>
Of course, it was a movie, so maybe it was the figment of some
screenpaly writer's imagination?<br>
