        How good are the teeth on 'em? Once the teeth wear away, you might as well throw 'em in the trash..

            Sounds like it's time for a new caliper on that corner.

                well that was.... eventful.

                jabbed the brakes and the pedal went right to the floor.

                goddamn bleeder valve wasn't tightened all the way.

                But it's in it's rightful spot in my driveway until i work up the courage to get to that in the next day or so. While it's in my driveway i'll get to the speedo (probably) and the O2 sensors that aren't plugged in.

                    one more thing, i switched off Overdrive before taking off, but now it seems that it doesn't want to get switched back on, it's just flashing in my cluster now, thoughts?

                      Check the codes. That means there's a transmission code.

                        just realized that.

                        ALSO, took apart the old trans.
                        yeah.

                          oh hell yeah.

                          just my luck.

                          a brake line popped. FR, where it turns up and bends around the frame.

                          fuck.

                            Thats the thing. You fix one spot and now you find the next weakest link. It is a battle until it is all replaced.

                              went ahead and took off the line going to the FL.

                              getting to that splitter block is a PITA. fighting with fender liner for a solid two hours makes a 17 year old kid real angry

                                In time you may learn/realize spending a couple extra minutes removing stuff from your way may end up saving you struggle/hassle and time in the long run.
