It never fails. Fix one rusty brake line and another springs a leak.
I’ve got the nicest neighbor I could ever ask for. A little old man in his 70s. A farmer, construction worker and general handy man. Getting up in age he can’t do like he use to.
He’s got an old gmc van rusted to hell. Been leaking brake fluid for who knows how long. He asked if I’d fix it for him. Without hesitation I say sure. He dropped it off yesterday and I got after it. Leak was easy to spot by the puddle it left in the driveway. Main line to the rear about 4’from the y to the rear breaks. Cut out the last 4’ put on a new section. Got the bleeders loose and tried to bleed them out and splat!!! Another line blew out on the front left. Good grief!!! Got the shield out of the way so I could find the rupture and see what I need to fix it. Called it a day and closed up the shop. The truck is such a hunk of junk I’m sure the new brake lines will outlast the rest of the rig. I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow. Helping my favorite neighbor.
