Started on the brakes today and began with flushing most of the old fluid out. I will continue to flush it with each caliper I put on and then flush it again a final time for bleeding. Some progress was made... I completed the first rear caliper/rotor/hose/pads easily enough. Then I went to do the second one and - oops. Second rotor was wrong. I hadn't checked them all. Oh well. New one should be in Friday.

Moving on to the fronts... I was stuck with the top bolts on both calipers but after two days of PB Blastering they came off tonight. However, I need to replace one of the bolts due to some rounding.

That's as far as I got when I became distracted... I found quite a bit of water in the cabin unfortunately. We just had some serious 24 hour rain and there is a decent leak somewhere. Water in the drivers front, passenger front and some in the passenger rear. I suspect it's from one of the air intakes on the hood, but impossible to say for sure right now. Bit of a bummer, going to be somewhat difficult to track that one down this time of year. I've pulled all the carpets out that were easily accessible in the cabin. They were coming out for cleaning anyways so I'll just need to find that leak before I put them back in!

All my parts are here though, minus that one rotor so I'm hoping to be getting her mobile again by the end of the weekend... we'll see if I make it.
