I think I’m gonna try the brute force method again tonight and see if I can get into the brake housing. Assuming I can, I’m going to clear it out for this trip up to the cape (the other axle still has working brakes) and maybe just order the kits to be delivered out there.

I wish I had posted about this last year... the project doesn’t look hard to do at all!

The pond rinse is for after you do your brakes
If you have a wash down pump you can do the whole thing
Probably won’t go over well on a busy ramp though
A hose, saltaway and wd40 work too

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
