XJ brake UPDATE

	Just to be clear.. I wasnt trying to suck the fluid out of the lines with the vacuum, just out of the resevior. I cleaned out the rear brakes and drums with a hose and brake cleaner, it was pretty dirty in there. I noticed that my shoes are a little thin, despite being reasonably new. There is also a ridge formed in the passenger side front shoe. I'll be replacing the shoes soon. I bled and bled and bled the brakes untill the fluid came out clean, and stayed clean in the resevor. I had a very hard time bleeding the passenger side, I think I need a new bleeder bolt. Common part? Anyway, the brakes are MUCH better now, but I still need to replace those shoes soon to be safe.

When you take the old ones off pay attention to which one goes where. I didn't ONE time and reversed the shoes. The "grabby" brakes that resulted were enough to remind me for ever after. Experience is the name we give our mistakes <grin>. Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..."

	I wasn't dreaming - nightmare really - that you were sucking the brake fluid out of the lines. I was worried that you sucked the fluid out of the reservior and got air in it, then trapped the air in the brake system by refilling the reservior. I have never heard of anybody using a vac to empty the reservior. "Carl Saiyed" <carlsaiyed@REMOVEhotmail.com> wrote in message news:424ca561$1_2@newsfeed.slurp.net...> Just to be clear..

	I have never heard of anybody using a vac to empty the reservior. Yeah, me neither. Way too f'ing messy to clean up afterwards. Sure, it'd work but the brake fluid's not water soluable so clean up would be really bad. That and since it'd never get clean you'd have the fluid collecting all sorts of added gunk in the hose the next time you used it for anything dry. A old turkey baster is usually a lot simpler. Safer too in that you've got a better chance to avoid contaminating the reservoir. That and it's a heckuva lot cheaper than the solvent to clean and the eventual replacement cost of the vac hose. But hey, to each his own.

	Is that why my wife bought me a shop vacuum, she got tired of the Thanksgiving turkey tasting like brake fluid.

	Seriously, the stuff from the kitchen makes a one-way trip. The Mrs. will come out every so often and say, "So, that's where it went." If she really wants it back, she takes it, but then I can claim that the turkey is supposed to taste that way. "L.W.
