Shops Chops: Day 6 "Easy outs work? Front Brake Master Cylinder." 22 Dec 2008
http://shopschops.blogspot.com/2009/03/22-dec-2008-easy-outs-work.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Day 6 "Easy outs work? Front Brake Master Cylinder." 22 Dec 2008. The front Brake Master Cylinder was not working and the Phillips head screws were ceased up, beyond the Impact drivers power. So last resort the ever so effective easy out. That never happens, but it did? However the reveal was a bit of a let down, looks like she needs to be rebuilt. October 11, 2010 at 12:11 AM. October 11, 2010 at 10:15 AM.
