    Bleeding a new master

    in Brakes and Suspension Tech

    Posted

    Pretty sure I have the master bled, now I need to find an assistant to get the air out of the lines.

    Glen when I'm working by myself I usually get a long bar or something and pump the brakes up and use the bar against the front of the seat and on the brake pedal. It takes awhile but the job gets done.

    Best way to look at it is in your post on Oct. 28 at 2:05am. You see where you rubber handle is laying inn the picture? they would go in your new piece just below that hammer handle.

    Thanks Jim. I got the parts and they are smaller than I thought so I see how they could work now. I went to Home Depot and bought the ten foot 1/2 clear tubing. Gonna get on it as soon as possible. Thanks again! !

    Now would be a good time to put in those drain hoses. Go to Auto zone and get 2 radiator drain repair kits ( plastic tube with 2 orange rubber gaskets). Install them right where that curved piece from the quarter stops and just after the weld area on that piece you replaced. Drill a hole thru,insert tube with gaskets and tighten plastic nut on under side. Then just run rubber/vinyl see thru tubing (Home Depot ) down thru your drain plugs on trunk drop offs. you will be amazed how much water runs out of those 2 tubes. I hope this is accurate enough for you, Since I can't find a picture of it. Had mine done for the last 9yrs. 

    As this post states, right where the curved piece ends at the bottom of your window panel on the side that the trim piece attaches,(trim clips ). that is where ttose drain tubes will go. I will try to find a picture though I do not think I have one.

    So this will work with vinyl top?

    No ,  you will have to sacrifice a hole in that repair piece.They go into the rail after you are done with that repair .The flat part will be on that repair side with the tube going into the trunk. The gasket goes between the rail and the flat piece for the tube( I just finger tightened the nut). You can get the clear tubing at Home Depot. the size I can't remember but I got like 4ft of it.They run down your trunk to your drain plugs. I drilled/cut them for that size then rubber gasketed them to hold in place in the plugs.  

    Where exactly do these go? Will the window sealer block the holes. Can you perhaps show the location in a picture?

    Looks like a big deal to me! I didn't know it was this far along.

    I often thought it would have been nice to have the deck lid go all the way to the back glass like cars a few ears newer had.

    This would eliminate that whole panel and have the back glass lower area drain out and not let water sit there and rust. It was a poor design IMO.

    It's going to look great!

    It really wasn't that bad. I just wanted it all out of there. Here are some before pictures:

    Sorry to be a downer here but when the vinyl top is removed there is a good chance the lower part of the back glass area will have rust holes through to the trunk on both corners.

    Be prepared!

    I hope I am wrong.

    Bruce that's already being addressed at the bodyshop. It really wasn't that bad but it was removed

    Power window motors

    in Electrical Tech

    Posted

    Hey all I bought a complete used power window kit a fews years back and all the motors were working fine. the box that contained everything has been in the Monte since then. I had installed one regulator and motor  in the NOS door that I have and it was working fine when first installed a few years back. I do not have the complete kit installed in the car just the two wires that run from the window motor. Well we got the Monte back in the shop and I needed to take the custom fitted sport mirror off of the door. I needed to let the window down so I could take the bolts off the mirror and nothing. I connected the battery charger to the two wires from the motor. Was I supposed to do it that way or ground the body of the motor and power the wires individually for up and down? I don't remember how I tested them before but I know they worked. Thanks...Rodney
