old bluebird brake check alert!! - Henry Jay Hannigan - 09-02-2006 07:38 You all with old birds who havent checked the brakes in a while.....my new bird had shoes about 3/4 inch thick so no problem..right???? WRONG...I just happened to be underneath her the other day admiring her undersides when I saw the left rear brake shoe with a six incrack/split in it..AND both rear seals leaking......rest of the story...got new seals and rear brakes yesterday and NOW...on the road again....mechanic said had I not discovered CRACKS, the brakes would have broken up and possible STOPPED the bird in its tracks...SO..recommend you all examine your SHOES when you getr some spare time...LOL Regards, Hank Hannigan in Alabama heading South 90SP gambling in Vegas 80FC31 on the road with us |
