The hoses are old. Probably original. They worked as
long as the old MC leaked, for the past year.

Loosened the fittings on MC and now get a bit of fluid
from each, but seems like they should be under quite a
bit more pressure.

Disasembled the brake fluid failure PDMA
whatchamacalit and the light switch seems to be
defective. Its nylon and seems to be missing a part
between the spring and the inside of the mechanism.
Looks snapped off. I will check to see in the
publications what it is supposed to look like.

A what if? What if I remove the shuttle from the PDWA?
With both lines meeting in the middle it should clear
everything. Maybe I will just remove it, clean it and
get a new switch. Since I probably won't get to drive
it for awhile anyway.

Was going to be a quick easy, bleed the brakes and go
for a drive deal. Another 30 min. job to be measured
in days.:-)

cheers, bill b.
