Travis it was one of the front suspension bolt. Wasn't even the big 19, it was one of the 14mm. That sob WASSS turning loose slowly than bam rounded.

Does anyone have the motive power bleeder, Lockhart brake bottle bleeder setup?

Q, I have some bolt extractors. You need them right meow or is it something you can do this weekend?

Power bleeder for brakes? I prefer the old two person method. If you wanna come over this weekend we can take care of both.

I have used the speed bleeders and the pressure tank thing - but like Eric has said - in the end, the two person method always works best with beerz

I have extractors as well and i'm pretty sure for a 14mm - i'm in p-laaaano if that matterz

make sure you login to an account and I had it on my wife's account. Make a new random account if you have to.

edit: I tried 3 other account and none of them are showing the 20% off. Maybe Groupon is going off EST which would mean the coupon has expired

I didn't see it when Eric first posted about it at around 8PM, logged in or out. I think it's only certain accounts or something. I'd like to have saved some money.

Yeah, looks like the coupon expired. I tried multiple accounts, logged in through my PC and phone, but I still couldn't find it. That was a steal -- oh well!

Just invest in a tricycle, no need to waste a spot if you live across the street.

Yeah I found it on a map. I'm at Belt Line and the Dallas North Autobahn.

There's an FX here that looks just like mine when it was stock and always seem to park in the same spot in the garage. I want to get here early one day and park there to freak them out, although since it's not an exact clone it may not work exactly as planned. Crap, today would have been the perfect day for it and not look like an azz for taking their usual spot!

Thanks Eric, it's not something I need right nao. It was on someone else car that I was helping. I had to put everything back together.

I saw this DIY/video of the power bleeder. Looks really nice to have for a 1 man job.

I've been looking for a beater as well. The Z is not a very fun car to drive in Dallas traffic/road conditions are below sub par downtown. I've found a couple of Toyota 4runner SR5 sports eds (2002 models) in excellent condition that I might acquire. Gave up on trying to find an older 2000-2005 VW golf TDI.
