Tomorrow I'll be back at the site to work on the car. I don't have a lot to accomplish; instead several tasks that will lead to accomplishments:
- Remove the glow plug relay and take it home to bench test
- Drain engine coolant
- Disconnect transmission cooler lines from radiator
- Remove radiator
- Try to loosen the 4 6mm torx bolts from the crank damper
- Remove brake master cylinder and take home to bench test/rebuild/replace
- Remove battery (and replace)
I am removing the master cylinder due to the brake pedal being immovable. I have line wrenches that I hope will help with the brake lines at the master cylinder. Perhaps they might also help with the transmission cooler lines. PB B'laster could also prove useful.
Should I try to cover or plug the disconnected brake lines? I plan to service the brakes to whatever extent is needed. In the least flushing and bleeding the brakes, in the most replacing the calipers.
Thanks!
