    new brakes

    Did a brake upgrade this past weekend, rotors, pads, lines, flush and bleed, repacked front bearing grease. Only issues were getting the bearing retainer off, needs some special tool I did not have. tapped/spun it out with a screw driver, carefully but seemed to work ok. and the nut on the 5th line was loose from goodridge and was leaking, once I tightened it up, all is well.

    Big improvement. much more confidence in them now.
