Re: Rat repair.

The fox drama continues, reference this thread:

Now the latest headache's, I had my brakes bleed a few weeks ago, then because another set of shock were ordered, then the order dropped, then reordered i ended up parking my truck back under the portable car cover and let it sit. When i finally got the replacement set of shocks home i pulled the truck out and popped the hood and was greeted to a brake fluid mess allover the master cylinder as well as on my fender well, closer inspection reveled the problem, the new master cylinder had the reservoir surface machined down too low and the lid was not sealing at all, it was bottoming out on thelip of the cap, the clips were nice and tight..

So you guessed it i had to pull the brand new master cylinder off and go exchange it for yet another one., its painted now and ready for reinstall after bench bleeding.

But first i have to take the shocks back to my local store and raise a little hell first.
