Sticky Widget X 2

The brakes are done, some adjustment is needed, but they are done.

But there are last 2 instances in the project that brought frustration. I call them Sticky Widgets.

1st Sticky Widget: Rear Rubber Hose

So late Friday Night, after everything was installed, we began bleeding the brakes. But there was a problem. The rears were not bleeding. Fronts fine, the rears, nothing. Frustrating.

After some investigation, it was determined that the rear rubber hose was to blame. Fortunately, I had ordered one, and once installed, we were able to bleed all the brakes.

2nd Sticky Widget: Studs

It is not actually their fault, but they would not "sit" properly in the hub. After several attempts, I called the Master Mechanic, the suggestion was made => Aluminum Foil. Wrap the studs with the foil. As silly as that sounds, it worked, and the last wheel was put on.

2 very frustrating events, but they were both overcome in the end. To say I am relieved is an understatement.
