Today was ‘Finish The Turd Day’.
It took all of thirty minutes for that to corkscrew into the ground. I got the new front calipers mounted and the MC reservoir shiny, inside and out. I went to open the bleeder on the rear caliper and that SOB snapped off with no pressure.
Between soaking with PB Blaster and copious amounts of heat over five hours, it hasn’t budged. It doesn’t help that the caliper is aluminum and the bleeder is steel. A new caliper is on the verge of being purchased.
In between heat and soak cycles, I made myself useful and got the front chain guard, skid plate, left rad shield(right shield is AWOL), tach, and heated grips mounted. Also managed to get the harness and relay assembled for the grips.
I’m leaving it mostly alone until Monday. Grandson Owens’ seventh birthday party is tomorrow and it’s also supposed to be very hot.
