Thanks to all of you who responded to my brake question of a couple weeks 
ago.  With regard to my issues I have a box with four new brake hoses waiting 
to 
be installed and I have a Motive Pressure Bleeder in the mail (something I've 
wanted for a while anyway).  I didn't fabricate the questions for the group, 
but almost would consider it due to the feedback I got on a somewhat technical 
problem.  Its refreshing to know we are interested in more than how shiny a 
wheel or how many watt sound system we can cram into our rides.  
     I do have another brake related item to ask about.  Something tells me 
when I put the new hoses on, I should also replace the crush washers at the 
banjo fittings.  Must be an old memory, but I think those things can be 
flattened 
out to where they are difficult to remove or perhaps break, particularly 
since they've not been touched in 15 years.  I stopped at the local NAPA store 
and 
they opened a catalog to a page with about 15 washers pictured along with 
dimensions for each and asked which ones I'd like.  I told them the proper one 
for my car and they said they aren't listed that way.  You just have to know 
the 
right size.  Sounded pretty screwed up to me, so----anybody been through 
this?  I could go to the dealer, but would rather not, and do you think I 
should 
have some on hand before I start taking the lines off?
     Thanks again for sharing of the knowledge.  Just think, if we'd all 
bought Honda Accords we wouldn't know nearly as much!  We have one and nothing 
ever happens.
