Got my 9/11mm snap-on flare wrench in the mail. I bought a vintage used one and still spent $25, but boy is that a substantial piece of wrench!

First bit of good news is that all six bleeders on the PnP calipers broke free without issue.

I started basting the hard line fittings on the car tonight and tomorrow afternoon I start turning wrenches. I have no idea why I am so nervous except that these rust-belt cars are just in so much worse condition that Volvo's 10 years earlier in Oklahoma/Texas. The other thing is that in the past, I always had a back-up car...it is why you should always have a rolling project and a daily driver... but this time I don't.

One more basting of Pb tonight and couple tomorrow and cross my fingers!

Mike
