brake hoses on my car. I'm going to look at the task and make sure I have access to the spare parts that failed you.

I have been bleeding brakes without an assistant or pressurized bleeder for years and am happy with the results enough to let John take his pressure bleeder back. I prefer doing it manually with the brake pedal but YMMV.

One more repair down for the next 50,000 miles (don't forget to replace the brake fluid every year in wet conditions and every two years at a bare minimum)

    • There is no caliper upgrade for the E23. It's unique to the model - Vern 2011-11-18 12:32:34 (564 views)
      • Vern, are you saying that I can put a e32 MS on my e23? - tranmkp 2011-11-21 10:29:00 (551 views)
        • The E32 MS has a slightly bigger bore and would move - kff 2011-11-21 11:04:46 (502 views)
