My brakes are scarey. I switched out axle assembly this last weekend. I think gear oil got to the bearing, drum and shoes. Reassembled and bleeding not quite right yet. As of today Mnt Hamilton is unsafe for me. I'm trying...

Not Mt. Hamilton, Mt. Diablo! So you don't need brakes

aww... next time for me. Spike is in the midst of a heart transplant.

Eddie, Mike, Raul, Kurt we are all pretty local should meet up somewhere to caravan to San Ramon?

I bought a compressor today The man cave is shaping up

I mean, how else can a guy bleed his brakes without asking for help

I'm trying to make the ride..

I can help if you need an extra pair of hands on saturday

meeting time/place anyone?

I may be around Saturday as well.

For Sunday, I suggest meeting somewhere along the 880/17 corridor at 8:45-9:00a and roll by 9:00-9:15a.
I don't know where all the South Bay folks are coming from so I'll just throw this out there and see if it sticks.

There is a Lowes near Coleman and 880 by the airport.
750 Newhall St, San Jose, Santa Clara, California 95110

Alvin and I would both be coming from the south near 85/17.

(or we can all go over to Alvin's house for the awesome breakfast he'll be preparing for all of us.)

I'm good with either suggestions Mike...I'll be coming from 280 and Saratoga..

Ok. We have a plan. See you guys on Sunday morning by 9a.

Wish I could be there to meet all of you. I've got somewhere I have to be, but count me in on the next one. Plus, I'm picking up my new rims tomorrow!

I didn't see the offers for help. But I thought I had it under control with the new compressor and bleeding tools. They seemed to work properly.

The car stops but the pedal is very soft. Can't lock 'em up. Safety first...I'm out tomorrow. Have fun!

Nice to have met new member Allan today and at least got a short ride in.
