Changed Wheel Cyls: Nothing Goes Easy

[95F350XL]

Well I finally got around to changing the ones on the truck, and damn what a nightmare, all the lines were frozen in the fittings, and then they wernt normal size so I had to drill out the old lines, and use some adapters, and then I almost didnt have enough line. I finally got it all done after a bunch of slacking and complaining to my friend who helped me bleed em out, pedal doesnt sink to the floor now nice. I now have every brake line changed on that damn truck. There isnt 1 left that was on it when I got it lol. I also did the front diff service and greased up everything that had a fitting on it. Shes running good now. Ahh that feels better.

Nice work buddy. You're one of the most driven and efficient young mechanics that I know. You always tackle these jobs without any prior planning and get them done in a very timely manner. I have to plan everything in advance and it takes me all damn day to do small projects

I need to change my lines out too, i'll add that to my Ta doo list.

Well if its anything like my truck, there 1/4 fittings with 3/16th line. Was a royal pain in the butt. I always get whatever needs to be done, I cant leave my truck hung up at work if its on the lift, my boss would be so pissed if we were down a lift. So I make it work.

Anybody know why Ford did that? My Ranger was the same way in back.

To piss off the mechanics.

So you would have to get lines and fitting from the stealership...
