After digging through every box I had in the shop, and thats a lot I had given up. I knew I did not throw them away but got to the point that there was nowhere else I would have put them. THEN, I saw my flare kit peeking out on the corner of the shelf. I wondered, is there a chance................? I have looked over that spot multiple times during my search as I KNEW the only thing there was my plumbing and electrical tool kits. However with all other spots coming up empty and nothing to loose there IT WAS
Got the block off, and of course the fitting on my brake line was not compatible. Luckily I had one in my pile of parts, got the flare kit out and new end put on. Got everything hooked back up on the car, gave the bleeder a few minutes of pumping with my vac tool but wore my hand out (minor case of arthritis) so I will get some help today to do some pushing on the brake pedal. Hopefully that will be quicker and easier.
