Neverending brake story

["Brubaker, John" <JBrubaker@AMF.com>]

Just wanted to let everyone know...I still have no brakes, but it has 
been an interesting and educational experience so far (besides a 
painful one).  As everyone knows my MC is gone.  In the process to fix 
this, I have been checking out every other brake related part on my 
car for problems.  I first tried bleeding my brakes which resulted in 
two broken bleeder valves (one rear, one front).  The rear was easily 
fixed with a new wheel brake cylinder (fairly easy and done).  The 
front was not so easy.  Seeing as that I don't have the cash for a new 
caliber, I purchased one from the junkyard.  Stupid me, I bought the 
wrong one (which I will replace after work today).  After realizing 
this, I figured I would try to drill out the old bleeder valve on my 
old caliber.  This actually worked...so I thought.  When I finally got 
the old bleeder valve out, I replaced it with a new one, fit tight, 
looked good.  I hooked up the caliber to the brake line, bleeder 
valves still leeking...tighten it up, still leaking.  I guess I 
drilled a little to far into the caliber.  This all occurred over a 
three hour time span, it's getting dark, downed 4 beers already, so I 
called it quits for the night.

Still not sure what I'm going to do about the MC.

Not enough time (or maybe light) in the day,

P.S. - Please someone let me know if they are getting tired of this 
line, I wish it was over myself.
