Krazy Kyle Get It To Wheelspin Uncontrolably Then Give It Another 5 Pounds Cruise Control 2,697 Member For: 13y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Work Posted 01/05/15 05:31 AM Author Share Posted 01/05/15 05:31 AM Scratch the diff oil idea, can do that at home in 15 mins. Flushing brake fluid and installing braided lines... anyone got the appropriate tools for this? Ive never done a ABS system or a full flush, only on race cars/bikes.

Forscan has the bleed procedure for the abs unit but I don't usually bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flushing brake fluid and installing braided lines... anyone got the appropriate tools for this? Ive never done a ABS system or a full flush, only on race cars/bikes. Brake fluid flushing is easy to do. I've never had a problem with ABS - I just flush new fluid through.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78762-photo-essay-brembo-brake-fluid-flushingSpeed bleeders make it easy to do on your own: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/tutorials/article/16-brake-nipples-speed-bleeders-and-brembo-falcon-standard-brakes/If you've never replaced the diff breather hose then it's probably broken off at the diff end. Get 40cm of 6.3mm fuel hose to replace it while the back of the car is jacked up.What I did with my Tornado: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89684-2006-fpv-tornado-f6-ute-cleanup-resurrection/?p=1520903I have not been able to find speed bleeders in Australia so I get them from the US via mail order, usually from Amazon. The standard Falcon calipers and Brembo calipers all take a SB1010S, which is also sold by Russell Industries as 639630. I keep some of these as spares at home. However, it turns out that the rear PBR calipers on the Tornado ute (ie the 328mm disc) use a longer nipple - the SB1010 (sold by Russell Industries as 639560).The standard Falcon PBR calipers (ie 298mm/322mm front and 303mm rear) all use the same nipple as the Brembo calipers - the SB1010S/Russell Industries 639630.

Got various tools and things that might be useful (eg ball joint press for BA & BF).Gotta drive a taxi Saturday night for 12 hours, so need to sleep Saturday daytime. Bugger.

Can, do the 23rd and also have a ball joint press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
