Re: Haynes Manuals
Great story.
It reminded me of the very first time I decided to replace my brake fluid as a spotty 17-year old (using a Haynes Workshop Manual, naturally).
None of the nuts came loose anything like the manual suggested, but I eventually got it done.
I thought I'd bled it properly and went for a quick drive around the block. When I came to the first junction, I braked... and nothing happened! I shit myself.
Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to pump the brake pedal (or maybe it was panic, as in I pumped the pedal frantically - I don't remember now), and that built up pressure and got them working.
When I got back home, I must have used two more cans of brake fluid to make sure I'd got all the air out this time.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
