I should just not be allowed near cars

I tried to flush the ST's brakes today. It did not go well.

I bought a Motive Power Bleeder a while ago and finally tried using it. It didn't leak on the first pressure test. Can't say the same once I'd put in some fresh Motul and got to work.

Right rear was partly flushed when I found it leaking from the reservoir connection. I decided to toss in the towel and drop it off with a guy tomorrow morning. Given how the day had gone to that point, I'm certain death, dismemberment, fire, famine and that sort of stuff would have taken place had I not stopped.

And I'm not sure, but the right rear caliper might be leaking a little now. After test drive with some hard stops, it was wet around the nipple. Dried it all off and took another short drive. It was wet again, but much less so. Hoping it was just a little fluid left in the nipple.

And then there was the car nearly falling off the jack when getting it on stands.

And. And. And.



I probably shouldn't be allowed near cars.
