I have a chevy 3/4 ton 4x4. Last fall the fuel lines started leaking. I replaced all those and the brake lines are mounted in the same clip. Then of course the brake lines sprung leaks so i replaced all those. Mid summer i had a leak in the gas tank. So i got a tank from summit and put it on. I no more than got it out of the garge and two of the front brake lines started leaking. So i fix all those and go to bleed the brakes and both bleader valves are rused down to nothing.
After all that i said screw it and it sat untill yesterday. I got new calipers, pads and rotors. The rotors were a pain in the ass. I had to pull the whole hub off to change them. Been sitting for a long time so its nice and rusty. Well i got it all done today. I'm just wondering what will go next. Damn Chevy!!!!! -------------------- 1991 GSX

Those rotors are a major PITA, I've been avoiding it on my van for the same reason. I had a caliper freeze up on me last year, so replaced both of the fronts and bled lines, but left the rotors; I just deal with a warped effect, kindof annoying but much less so then changing/turning the rotors. I think the bleeder problem is pretty common on those, but since the calipers are only like $10 ea it's not that big of deal. I think the lines/body rusting is the most common prob on those though, so if you got them changed should be in good shape. -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra
