Also nice are the Speedbleeders for the brake fluid. Easy to instal, and very easy to bleed the brakes. I went to these when I changed my fluids and pads a couple months ago.
Where did you buy the Speedbleeders?

I should be there around 2 as well. Can we do a late lunch? or at least a drive after that?

What a great day! HOT , but very productive and a lot of fun. Under the supervision of out head mechanic, SC_Highlander , 3 S's got some loving TLC.

Ron and I changed transmission and differential fluids, and I can't believe how much better my shifting feels. Huskergirl also changed these fluids, plus oil and brake fluid.

BlackBeauty, Dante(Suzuka) and JAHumphrey joined us mid-afternoon for a fun run, lead by SC_Highlander. Afterwards, the Husker family treated everyone to some seriously good chow, spirits and a wide variety of music ("It's Not Easy Being Green"?????) and great conversation.

THANKS Huskergirl and Huskerhubby for setting all this up and being such great hosts. Thanks also to Hardtopguy for getting all our supplies there on time. A special thanks to SC_Highlander for all the great instruction and advice!

I have one happy, happy car! Not to mention a sleepy dog (its tough watching people work on cars all day!), and a proud recycle bin of discarded plastic car fluid bottles and several wine bottles! Who knew the zen of watching transmission fluid dripping could be so rewarding?

We enjoyed having everyone over. It was a lot of fun and many many thanks to SC_Highlander for helping out. A few pics...

Thanks much to the Husker family for hosting a wonderful time! The drive, food and of course the company were great. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Thanks for a fun day!

Yes, it was hot, but what a fun drive - even with the few trucks that managed to get ahead of us

Sorry, we couldn't make it back afterwards for the food/fun/music. Sounds like we missed out on a great time. Hopefully, there will be many more. We are so happy we found another great group of people here in Charlotte

Great way to spend a Saturday! I can't take credit for the drive. Sheila was the navigator -- and we only had to make one 'tribute to Raul' (U-turn). Thanks for the great eats and the place to hangout all day, Hukser-clan!
