We all know that sterling has been devalued.

'Twas a joke. Obviously a poor one.

I'll try to do better. (Run for your life!)

I was referring to the goober who worked on your brakes, twisting the
hose so it rubbed on the tire.   That is NOT "sterling work!"  Unless he
is a hit man.

  If he was a hit man, it was NOT "sterling work" either, because you
are still with us!

The only people to work on the brakes whilst the car has been in my 
possession was my usual repair shop.


They have done sterling work in the past and I hope that they will 
continue to do so, in the future, assuming that I have one.


Never saw myself as a goober.

You may just have a point though.

They were.

I just wasn't prepared for the lesser braking effect.

By the time it dawned on me that the brakes were ineffective, the car was 
stopped.

Took about 5 seconds, seemed like a week.

Nice! 

Glad you and your are here to relate the tale.  Another reason why I 
prefer to do stuff like brakes myself.   I thought I was getting to old 
for this stuff too, but decided I can't afford the alternatives.


So, I bought a dewalt battry op rattle wrench.  The first job I applied 
it to, taking wheels off a junk car, completely overwhelmed it.  But it 
turned out that with me standing on the 18" breaker bar, and jumping on 
the breaker bar would not work either.  I did get 10 of the bolts loose 
by beating on the handle of the breaker bar with a 2 lb LFH as hard as I 
could.  About 20 to 40 whacks with this "impact wrench" would break 
loose a lug bolt.  Well over 300 Ft Lb.  It woulda stripped any rice 
burner lug nut. (or merkun)  However with several other jobs since then 
where bolts are near the torque spec, the thing works a charm.  I love 
it.  It works better than any of the air rattle renches I have had, and 
is no where near as temperamental.   (and does not require oil in the 
air hose end.



Fred Moir via Mercedes

Had an interesting morning on tuesday.

Tuesday is take-my-granddaughter-to-breakfast day and we were in 
traffic, going by the rehab hospital when the traffic stopped for a 
red light.


Why are we not slowing down, SH*T no brakes! Managed to avoid the car 
in front by swerving into the gutter and stomping on the (Bloody 
Awkward) emergency brake and stopped. Whew.


With almost no brake fluid and only minimal rear braking, crept to 
NAPA for juice and slowly down the street to breakfast. Crept home again.


The people that I normally use to do the repairs that I don't want to 
do recently replaced the passenger caliper, both disks and pads in the 
front.


It appears that the mechanic (moron) who replaced the caliper, 
unscrewed the unit from the hose and re-threaded the new caliper onto 
the old hose.


Then twisted the caliper to fit against the mounting lugs. This left a 
curl in the hose that rubbed against the tyre, and, e viola, no 
F**G brakes!


They will get a present of the hose from me as a learning aid. New 
hoses installed by Fred.


I got hosed, even though it was suggested that a new pair of hoses 
would be a good idea.


I'm getting too old for this sh*t.
