Before tempting fate too much, I poured in one quart. Watching the floor--no drips (yet).

My next task is dealing with brakes. First step: remove the Textar pads and go back to Porterfields. Originally, I could get the front brakes to lock but not with Textar.

I lightly scuffed the disk with some medium emery paper.

I started on the rears, but got side-tracked. The retaining ring for the inner piston bellows fell out. This is a job for tomorrow.

No drips! So I put in another 2 quarts.

And then got distracted by other tasks in the garage.

I had a few minutes between other stuff today, and searched out a tool to seat the caliper seal retaining ring. I found one in my wife's spice cabinet. Don't tell her.

Tool in use. Just big enough to fit over piston.

Oops, good thing your wife is forgiving, or get that hunk of junk out of the garage for once and for all

Well, I got busted. She caught me before I could hide the jar in the back. At least parsley is not expensive or important, so I got off with a warning.

I had a distracting week, especially with a good friend from Scotland who spent an extra long weekend, when we drank a good bit of the whisky he brought.

Once I sobered up, I finally finished swapping the brake pads, back to the Porterfield pads I started with. Here I have the right rear ready for adjustment.
