Well, it happened....................
Ran out here to Tuba City to run a weekend shift (fire department) and figured I'd replace my leaking master cylinder while I had some downtime. Got the old one out, installed it, and started bleeding it. Two hours later, I thought to myself, "gosh, this should be good to go by now" but there was still no pressure on the pedal....I then looked to the front of the vehicle and noticed fluid dripping from the front of the bell housing. Stuck my fingers in the bell housing only to start playing around in brake fluid...........:roll:
I have a new slave cylinder, fluids and tools being brought to me tomorrow night. I'll take this opportunity to reseal the transmission and change fluid in the transfer case while it's all out as well....here's to a long day laying in the dirt on Sunday............:thumbdwn:
