yes. but i made a noob mistake.

somehow the brake reservoir rubber seal doesnt fit any more. it seems as if its too large. like it expanded.

anyway, i took the seal out, since its not a daily driver.
forgot about it and took the car out last night.
since air is being introduced into the system, i get a mushy brake pedal.

i ordered a new seal.
along with stainless steel brake lines and brake fluid.

I've got e few things on the way.

Clutch
Slave Cyl
Axle
Rear Motor Mount
and, a new piece of clay bar from ebay.

OEM parts Tim hooked up the parts, with free shipping. He's the best to buy OEM from, either super cheap shipping, or free if your spending a bit.

yeah, but I'm waiting on the seal to come in. without that seal, it will introduce air into the system.

plus i ordered ss brake lines, and will drain the fluid and install the ss lines all in one shot.

Yeah your suppose to replace the brake fluid every 2 years by completely flushing the old fluid out anyway. A lot of people just don't do it. Some quickie/slacker type shops will just bleed your brakes too, even when a complete flush is desperately needed.

The biggest reason is they are afraid to break a bleeder screw, which is somewhat valid.
