This is the suspected full rebuild of hard lines.  They will be flushing and 
testing all lines.  That should cover me for the next decade on stopping.

[clay via Mercedes]

Ignorance is bliss.  Had I know that the thing was basically unsafe at any 
speed above a walk, I may have take a moment or two more to consider the 
project.  Not that it would have really stopped me.  I am sort of confounded 
that the whole braking system was just crap and one pedal push away from 
killing me.  Given the work into the brakes I have done, the estimate to make 
it right was cut to a third or the last estimate which did not include this new 
area of failure.

I think that The Hillster, CCF, H-> Hell, should just come out of the closet 
and pull the carpet out from under the Trump machine.  We all know she is as 
bent as a hanger.  If she would fess up that she is more inclined to be into… 
not Bill, or any other XY sort, that would boost her numbers through the roof.  
I doubt the real lefty sorts would raise a fuss, or even thems from the middle 
of the road.  It would be so passe for her to announce that sort of thing.  If 
we have put up with Bruce Jenner becoming a … not Bruce, then we can withstand 
a lady president who is into … girls

Somewhere along the line you have to decide when it's time to get out that roll
of tubing and replace all the hard lines so you don't have to deal with more
rust leaks every year or two.

[MBZ] Polei goes to the Doctor

[clay via Mercedes]

The brakes finally beat me.  

I used the vacuum pump method to attempt to bleed, but just ended up with 
bubbles.  I hooked the shop vac to a bunch of reducers and mated that to the 
bleed vessel.  All that did was make bubbles.  The soft lines out back would 
not release.  Not with the 11mm line wrench, not with the blue wrench, not with 
a 7/16 wrench.  The parking brake shoes did not look bad, but the surface 
looked to be really thin.  I have a replacement set of shoes and springs, so 
did not try to adjust the old shoes so that I could put the fresh rotors on 
with ease.

I was able to get her off the ramps and even stopped!  I was not sure that 
would happen.  The parking brake did not engage, not a surprise.  Front brakes 
were no worse for wear.  I called the local brake shop and let them know what 
was up.  They agreed to use my new parts if there were a need.  Sounded good, 
so I made an appointment for this morning.

I got in right on time, talked to the tech while he had the car up on the lift 
and we went over what I had done, what was not happening and what he thought he 
could do.  Turned out he misunderstood what the hang up was, but once he clued 
in that there was nothing in the hard line coming from the front, he quit 
futzing around with the rear lines and dropped the car to take a look at the 
front of the car around the reservoir.  AND THERE we found the offending leak 
out the front line that heads to the rear hard line.  The Brake Line God was 
out for a few days, as he had a fresh baby that was popped out of the oven a 
few months early and is residing in the NICU.  The tech working my car was good 
for doing brake jobs, but not for making lines.  That put a damper on the day, 
so I swallowed hard, agreed to wait a day and contemplate the need for 
extensive brake line replacements.

My bending is pretty ok.  The lines are easy enough to play with.  The flaring, 
and spatial orientation is not that hot yet.   I will need to do much more 
practice to get both of those talents viable.  The brake issues just seemed to 
build on each other, so time for a guy with a lift, a roof, and knowledge to 
tackle this, instead of a shade tree monkey out in the rain squirming around in 
the muck.

As a consolation, after walking the two miles home (buses just do not run the 
way a person wants to go) in the rain, I rebuilt an ATE caliper set for 
installation on the parts shelf to be available for either the R107, or any 
future w114/115/116/123/126.

[MBZ] Deoxit Tale

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

A few months ago the Genie screw type overheard door began acting up, so I 
sprayed all the moving parts with a Liquid Wrench preparation that was 
specifically for overhead doors. It worked fine after that treatment for 2 or 3 
weeks, then started acting up again. I sprayed it again, and it behave again 
for a week or ten days.
Then it began even stranger kinds of behaviour and I began to suspect an 
electronic problem since the infrared safety beam would flicker after each of 
its conniptions.
Finally, I called an internet company that specialized in overhead door parts, 
and they suggested replacing the main circuit board, so I ordered one.

I had already sprayed Deoxit on the infrared units connections and the 
connectors on the circuit boards, but had not removed and re-installed them, so 
on a hunch I managed to pull the connector on the PC board partially out and 
soak it with Deoxit. 
The door still acted up. So much for Deoxit.
A day later I pushed the button to raise the door, expecting I would have to 
move it up and down until it fully opened, but the door smoothly opened like it 
did when it was new 20 years ago.
On return from town it also worked flawlessly. It's been doing that now for 
several days, so fingers are crossed, but I have a feeling that corrosion in 
the PC boards main connector was the cause, and that the door is fixed.
Time will tell, and if it does mess up again, the new board will be on the 
shelf.
The point is that Deoxit has made the door open and close like a new one.
Gerry
P.S. I use liquid Deoxit which comes in a pump type can.

Thanks Rick, I found stuff on that in other places. I was just 
hoping that you might have some info from a more personal 
perspective.

Rick


Do you have personal experience with the kit or know someone who
has? 


No.


On what do you base the comment that it is a good kit?


Comment here years ago, and on other forums. 
I personally will probably just put in a new R-4
compressor from a reputable manufacturer, 
when I refurbish my A/C.
